BOLT FUNDThis is a featured page

Because of the maritime environment in Bermuda, the only anchors which will have safety in longevity are these;

Fixe Marine Glue-In Bolts
  • A316 Marine Grade Stainless
  • #014-M - 10x80mm
  • 12mm or 1/2" hole required
  • Buy them here

Or even better (but twice as expensive);

USHBA TORTUGA GLUE-IN BOLT
[Untitled] "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".
11mm or 7/16" hole required
Buy them here.


Here is a video of how to place glue-in bolts with glue capsules. Guide to placing glue-in bolts on the FIXE website.

Most of the routes are currently equipped with stainless steel expansion bolts which are prone to corrosion and will only be safe for about 1 to 2years. Re-equipping is in progress and will be recorded on the wiki.

If you want to support sport climbing in Bermuda then please contribute to the bolt fund via myself, Grant Farquhar or Davie Crawford 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 or re-equip routes.
