Rusty bolts in Cochrane Lane

[Dom]

I'm dying to know how somebody really clever would effectively visualize this data. I know there's a great chart hiding in all that... but I'll be dammed if I can figure it how to draw it.

We've got a complex and healthy bolteconomy going on here!

Are you saying I'm not clever Chris? hehe
I'm sure one of the engineers or the scientists in the NB climbing community could come up with a chart. I will focus my energy on pounding in SS bolts.


Perhaps I should edit out the old lists and just leave the most recently updated one. What do you all think?

Tack another one to the list. The old bolts on Honey pot need to be replaced. We replaced 3 of them. There is an intermediate anchor on this route for rapping it with a 60m, it has one new and one old bolt

-PJ

I'll add it to the list. Funny that a route that has been an open project until recently needs new bolts hehe!

I could keep an updated list of the ones that still need equipping in the first post if you would like

hehe just saw that you were a moderator too, nevermind

[Fred]

I like your list Dom. I like reading through it and seeing all the hard work you guys did.

I climbed "The Waltz" on Sunday (one of the best 5.10 in my book!) the cordelette anchor on the tree is in bad shape ( aka is cut 1/4 of the way on both strands), I did not have a knife with me and I could not undo the knot... be careful..... I should change it this weekend

chewed by a rodent?

[theriault]

Maybe.....anyone opposed to putting a bolted anchor up there? Luc and I scouted a perfect location......

[Dom]

I say do it, as long as it doesn't change the nature of the route. That way It'll save a nice Pine tree.

Fred should have a say since one of his routes finishes on that tree. (Le miel est plus doux que le sang) which is also a real nice route.

[Fred]

If the tree is healthy I would vote to see the tat replaced in lieu of bolt anchor.

my two cents

f'in eh!, looney tune wall done! That is great as these routes see a fair bit of traffic!

[Dom]

I rebolted the 6 old bolts of Slippery when wet and added an anchor. Hardware was provided by Zach T.
I also saw that the webbing on the waterfall layback anchor was mangled so I installed a new bolted anchor for that popular climb. Hardware was provided by Calvin T.

It'll be a few weeks before I'm back in Welsford but I'll put an anchor in at Ejaculator. The tree is looking in pretty sad shape. It's lost about 1/2 of it's crown and I suspect the base of the trunk has rot. We rapped off it yesterday and it held. YMMV.

[Stacey]

That is an awesome route, I hope to get back on it this fall sometime.

[theriault]

Hangers would be needed for the rebolting effort if anyone has some to spare....

Hey Chris let me know if you need rap rings. I still have some that were donated for the rebolting effort.

Agreed that we need hangers.

Rainy day....

rap ring are missing (we currently don't have any) maillons are there and will be replace when we get the hardware....

You guys must have gotten SOAKED!

Nice work taking one for the team Thanks for your efforts!

Hey I rebolted the sketchy anchor on Flight of the Valkyries last night. Hardware was donated by Zach T. from Moncton. If you haven't been on this route, it's a welsford top 5 in my book. Enjoy!

[Dom]

2011 is done and tons of routes have been rebolted.
Thanks to all who have contributed.

While I offered to rebolt a lot of routes, I'm short 136$ because one 'contributor' never ended up picking up the tab for routes he said he would cover. So if anyone that hasn't contributed would help me pick up the tab, it would be great. Any amount would help. (Your name would replace his on the list.) A lot of names from the community are missing on this list. It's not much for the benefit we get out of climbing on brand new bolts. The hardware on a lot of Welsford routes will be good for another 50+ years .

Again, thanks to those who contributed over the years to make Welsford an awesome area.

A big thanks to Stef K. who offered to donate for the hardware of Sleeping Beauty, Rock Opera and Joint Venture and Stacey for donating the hardware to cover Steal your face.

Hey I'd be willing to donate some hardware to anyone looking to replace some sketchy bolts/rap rings I climb on this stuff so it seems to only make sense that I contribute something to it! It also doesn't seem fair that everyone uses this stuff and only some pay for it. I'll ask around to see if anyone else is interested in doing the same.

Send me a PM if you're interested

[theriault]

Hey I'd be willing to donate some hardware

if you want to get us some hardware to install, check earlier in this tread there's a list of what we need

[CaliMan]

How much objection would there to putting a donation box for rebolting in gyms in the area? Envelopes with cheques/cash could be accepted. A cash box might not be the best idea. We could have a paypal account and wire up a donation icon for use on websites, or even facebook.

[Fred]

I don't see how anyone could object to that, it's a great idea.

Agreed. it's a great idea. Also, the box could accommodate bolts, hangers, rings, etc. Maybe we would need two boxes hehe.

As for the paypal account, it's also a great idea. I don't know if you'd be willing to be the paypal account trustee Calvin?

[CaliMan]

I could do that. Should it be someone in the club exec? Would it be outside club jurisdiction?

[Dom]

I could do that. Should it be someone in the club exec? Would it be outside club jurisdiction?

Haha I feel like starting a club and hardware debate but I won't. It falls outside club jurisdiction since the club never got involved in the rebolting process. That being said, it would be a nice gesture from the club to have a rebolting donation box at the wall on our behalf.
