3/8 x 4 cobra super sleeve bolts any good? For bolting Seen them on line so thought i would ask. The specs looked ok Fixe bolt specs couldnt find any Thanks
Real quick, No 3/8 is not enough Not stainless so will have to be replaced in a dozen years
When its about your life, cheap should not be one of the criteria.
If you have never placed bolts before, find some out of the way boulder to practice on. It takes more finesse than you might think, especially in soft rock.
I grew up in Rock Springs and climbed on the soft red sandstone around Green River. If you are bolting in the sandstone rock around southwestern Wyoming (Evanston), you are dealing with pretty soft rock - need to follow the soft rock recommendations.
Do a search on "soft rock bolting" and you will find more information.
If you are on soft rock, place glue ins. Coming back 20 years later to replace it sucks. Wave bolts are very good. Honestly, I placed 7 yesterday. Hilti RE 500 is best but if you can work quickly you might like the Redhead A7.
Yeah the cobra bolts was a random question. I will be using glueins wave bolts.
@ arlo u have any info on the climbs in green river?? Not much info on that area and there is some good looking rock and boulders in that area???
Yep the climbs will be in evanston. I cant wait to finsh them and i will post when im done there will be a few so far they are going to be 2 sport climbs 5-6 bolts to anchors and mayb 1 trad climb .. 5.9 and a 5.? Its hard and i cant climb it yet maybe 12
Yes, I know about routes around Green River. We put up about 20 trad routes in the 70's.
I've thought about giving a shot at posting them in case someone was interested in doing some climbing there.
The climbing there is on a red sandstone called the Tower Sandstone - it's located all around Green River and to the south along Flaming Gorge.
Most of the climbs are either in Telephone Canyon or on Pulpit Pinnacle.
Telephone Canyon is the canyon just west of the tunnel which takes you on top of White Mountain. There are many cliffs along the north side of the road. We put up around 10 routes up the canyon.
Pulpit Pinnacle is a large pinnacle just east of Green River and south of Bitter Creek. The easiest route is 5.6/5.7. We put up five routes on it.
We also did a few routes on what is called "The Old Man Face" (?) which is on the south side of town.
Mountain Project also has a sport area "behind the college." I don't know where this is but it is long after our climbing there.
