in theory there is no difference between reality and theory. in reality however theres a massive one! i agree neil that just reading a book ain't much chop!

tru-bolts are totally bomber, sure not so much in softer rocks. i've placed hundreds and will continue to do so, in the right context. they are much more visual than a well placed glue in, with a flat large surface to reflect. but hey if you wanna talk visual's its the chalk that sticks out!

i merely want people to understand that if your knowledge is coming largely from a theoretical place, hesitate before re-bolting on high profile routes!!
