Changes

Key:  Additions   Deletions
As part of the BMC better bolts campaign the North Wales Bolt Fund has been awarded over 1300 bolts for re-equipping across North Wales. These bolts are specifically aimed at re-equipping exsisting routes bolt for bolt and part of the process is that the BMC requires us to monitor where the bolts are placed. To make life as easy as possible I have added this page so we can add here as well as in the main text which routes in the quarries have been equipped by this supply of bolts.

To help clarify some potential grey areas the BMC bolts are not for:
New Routes
Retro Bolting Adding lower off
Replacing pegs

As such if any routes require bolts in the above sense then we will have to use Bolts sourced from the bolt fund. The BMC bolts will be 12mm petzl studs with petzl hangers and resin Fixe stainless steel (not marine grade) The NWBF bolts are 10 &12mm studs with Fixe hangers plus the odd DMM Eco.This will take a great deal of care to keep the sources of bolts separate.
