New bolt on Blimp - Bundaleer 7-May-2018 At 1:56:59 PM The good Dr
Message
From Jim Titt (Bolt Products - Germany) after extensive testing of various pitons in an attempt to design a corrosion resistant pin to put to market ....

"Conclusions
The result of producing nice corrosion resistant pitons is that climbers may blindly trust them with potentially fatal results.

Climbers from previous generations rightly distrust in situ pegs, rusting or not, and anyway usually have a healthy aversion to falling off! The modern sport and indoor climbing generation may tend to see shiny and think strong with the inevitable consequences.

A peg can only be trusted on the day it was placed. Only the climber who placed it can give an opinion on its reliability, anything else is only a guess.

My feeling is that to put corrosion resistant pegs on the market for permanent placements would be irresponsible and other solutions need to be found."
