Found some glue in bolts at the top of the 5.7 (Main Wall, Right). Had to post because I may be wrong but they don't look set far enough in. Any advice?

They're not set far enough in. Bolting is illegal at Allamuchy. The NJ State Park Police removed the bolts that were there with a local guide service and some idiot put glue-ins in the holes. Jan 31, 2018

Those glue ins are completely fucked. Whoever did this has no idea what they're doing. The rock side of the "eye" (where you would clip, should actually be touching the rock, slightly into it.

Not install correctly, these are not to be trusted. Also they need more gear to function correctly as lower offs...

Fixe Hardwear has several easy to follow free instructional videos on YouTube.

There is no excuse that makes something like this bolt job permissable. What a terrible install. Jul 29, 2018
