Thanks for the thoughts with regard to timing of a trip to the "east". Now, what to bring? How much of the equipment required to bolt routes is available at the said places. Can one get their hands on drills, bits, brushes, puffertubes, 316stainless and, if necessary, glue? Who to ask about that limestone plum that's ripe for the picking? Do local climbers in asia have a view either way towards foreigners gridbolting their walls and towers? Finally, is there a fund in Australia that supports this "Sport" in the developing world? |
