Sorry this is the French existential thinking, Russian card games and ethics (or should that be style??? or morality???) of forum posting thread...

So we can't help you with your strange unrelated quest for climbing-related information!

However, if I wasn't busy translating cyrillic letters into roman I'd say that those must be some pretty big plates or some pretty small bolts you're clipping, assuming naturally that you're not accidentally putting the big end over the bolt and clipping the slot wot normally goes over the bolt....?

Or is it because you CAN'T get the slot over the bolt because the bolt is too big? Have you tried right-angle bolt hangers? Failing that, some makes of bolt plate are larger ...
