Dangerous bolts at High Rocks

Posted by on 23/08/2005

Climbers accessing the Hut Boulder at High Rocks are warned not to use the recently placed belay bolts until further notice.

It has been reported today (23/08/05) that several of the bolts are loose. The BMC will be investigating the apparent failure of the resin’s bonding to the rock surface. Local climbers will be placing on-site warning signs.
