Neil, i don't think you could make these bolts work well in soft rock. With a dyna style bolt it has to reach it's max expansion as the sleeve is held in place by the hanger or the head of the nut, but with these if the sleeve dosen't bite it just won't expand. After feeling how loose they were and how little torque it took to do them up anymore i have NO IDEA what was going through there heads....Bold climber, easy route, just like placing marginal pro????? It's just F&$king illogical how someone could place them then climb past them
