Thanks for the insight into how you feel about the use of carrots when the first ascensionists aren't climbing at their limit. You have inspired me to turn the tide. I'm going to bolt something harder than I've ever climbed before using grade 304 stainless, keyed, glue in carrots. I'm thinking about painting the heads so they're camouflaged. Is more run out better so you don't have to fiddle on as many of those bolt plates? |
