Kenny and chim
I'll split the bolt count and anchors with you for cloud walker
Just want to be in on that one. Been wanting to finish that one with chim for a couple years. Chim and I had the bolt placements marked a couple years ago and got caught up on other projects.
Keep me in the loop when you want to do it. Busting ass on Burningman stuff right now but would be ready to hit it after the burn

If any locals want to drop in, I'll be at Woodfords tomorrow for a few sets on One of These Days. Just let me know.
My shoulders and back need strength maintenance if not building, ha! for an upcoming high sierra project. Took it for granted on a recent Mithral Dihedral ctc that ended up spanking them. And me. Humbly. (Of course, one could also argue it was my lousy core and footwork given that glorious crack, I wouldn't argue the point.)
At my age, there's no more taking this sport for granted. Serious stuff!

Yes, Woodfords has been a heavenly place of late. Inspiration for next time...
Plenty of 4th and easy 5th, too, for you wilderness explorer types as well. Lots of easy 5th FAs, too, for the kids. 'Tis the season on the sunny south-facing side. At least through tomorrow!
More later, woo-hoo!

Hey all,
I'm looking for a few bolts and hangers to establish a little something out my way: Jobs Peak foothills area.
Kenny, any of these left you might want to part with?
Thanks.

Chim, good to hear.
Hey, what bolt standard, or standards, are you using in Woodfords nowadays?

BTW,
It's interesting that 3/8 sleeve anchors only have a 5/16 threaded core. That leans me as a noob bolter to think of preferring the wedge anchor whose size matches the threaded core. Example: 3/8 equals 3/8. But then I'm only a noob thinking about this.

I checked into White Cap, guy's going to call me back with price.
bolts vs studs
So is there a push in Woodfords to go with removeable bolts rather than nonremoveable studs?
I mean, if I set a few anchors with SS wedge studs now that it's the 21st century, not the 20th, anyone like Kenny or Dan or Ron (or that guy in the video using a torque wrench) going to bitch slap me for my choice? :)
Or maybe I'm just overthinking it and should just go get it done.
Yeah, just go get it done. LOL!
