BOLT FUND
Beacause of the maritime environment in Bermuda, the only anchors which will have safety in longevity are these;
| USHBA TORTUGA GLUE-IN BOLT | |
 | Titanium is the best structural material for anchor bolts placed in marine or corrosive environments. Unlike steel bolts, the Tortuga is virtually immune to attack from seawater and galvanic corrosion. The Tortuga Glue-In is the only responsible choice for seaside anchor projects. Take pride in your seaside route by investing in the safest, most cost-effective climbing anchor. |
| Unfortunately, they are very expensive bolts at $25 each. So for example to equip Bensalem with them will cost in excess of $250. Here is a video of how to place glue-in bolts with glue capsules, although he neglects to countersink the eye which is necessary to prevent the bolt rotating under force. The routes are currently equipped with stainless steel expansion bolts which are prone to corrosion and will only be safe for about 1 year. If you want to support sport climbing in Bermuda then please contribute to the bolt fund via Sean Kelly, Bryan Caldwell at The Olympic Club or myself, Grant Farquhar and we will put the money towards the installation of reliable anchors. Please contact me if you wish to borrow the drill in order to equip routes. | |
