About

Open to: Association members with an interest or involvement with using fixed protection, or keen to get actively involved in placing or replacing fixed protection.

Equipment Needed: Personal PPE, climbing equipment, and rope for ascending and descending fixed lines. Old clothes + footwear that you don’t mind getting dust and resin on. Eye protection, work gloves, dust mask and hand tools (hammers, brushes etc) are welcomed, but will be available at the workshop. First Aid Kit.

Attendees are expected to be proficient in the use of the equipment they bring including using chosen device to belay, ascend and descend.

Location / Time: Parisella’s Cave, Marine Drive, Great Orme. 9.30am.

Workshop Notes: As technical advisors we are often asked to inspect and advise on fixed equipment. As instructors we often use fixed equipment or train staff in its use, and as climbers we may want to get involved in new routing or re-equipping routes - whilst having little or no experience in its placement.

The aim of the workshop is to give attendees hands-on experience in the process involved in placing and inspecting different types of bolts. To include:

  • An understanding of the ethics/considerations involved
  • Testing/decision making of suitable quality of rock for fixed protection
  • A knowledge of different types of bolts
  • Hands on experience of placing both resin and expansion bolts
  • Rigging and rope work systems for cleaning and equipping climb sites
  • Inspection of fixed anchors. 

Workshop Staff: Matt Jones MIA. Matt is a keen and active climber across all disciplines and has been involved in equipping new routes, re-equipping existing routes, and developing new climb sites since the late 80s.
