About

Inspecting Upper Pen Trwyn Lower Offs: Inspection Protocol and Reporting Procedure.

An evening workshop aimed at climbers who would like to be involved assisting volunteers of the North Wales Bolt Fund in carrying out the annual inspection and record keeping of the lower offs, and bolting, above the Marine Drive on Upper Pen Trwyn, Great Orme.

Topics covered:

  • Overview of the history of bolting on the Great Orme, and the access agreement relating to the Upper Pen Trwyn lower offs.
  • Bolt inspection and testing protocol, and the tools required.
  • The reporting procedure for recording inspections.

The workshop is ideal for anyone who would like to contribute to the upkeep and general safety of climbing on Upper Pen Trwyn, thereby enabling continued access to these wonderful crags.

You ideally need to have a good familiarity of the crags on the Orme

The inspection protocols are of course transferable skills and can be applied to fixed protection at any crag.

Delivered by North Wales Bolt Fund volunteers: Matt Jones, and North Wales Limestone guidebook author Andy Boorman both who have been involved in the sport scene on the Great Orme for over 30 years, have exceptional knowledge of the area and know how to bolt! Both are AMI members too.
