Wowsa!!! Terribly tragic.


It sounds like it was a combo of the wrong type of bolt for the rock and the wrong size hole being drilled to install them.

and some morons doing the work to beat.

i can't imagine going to another country, talking to the locals, having them tell me what type of bolt to use, then installing the wrong type anyway, realizing that they're not safe, and then walking away without addressing/fixing the situation.

i hope they can find out who the @$$holes are that put that route up so people can send nasty letters and make sure they know they killed someone with their incompetence and ignorance!!
