|
||||
|
||||
<p>Since the first cordless hammer drills made an appearance on Expo 1990
|
||||
thanks to sponsorship from Bosch, drills have been enthusiastically adopted as
|
||||
the best solution for large-scale bolting tasks; some of the fun and games of
|
||||
recent years, like the 21-bolt traverse over Gaffered to the Walls in 2003,
|
||||
would be unthinkable with hand bolts. However, drills are not suited to use
|
||||
with ordinary spits, as the setting process depends critically on the bottom of
|
||||
the hole being flat. It is possible to drill a hole part-way with a power drill
|
||||
and finish it off by hand, but this is tedious.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Hence we have found it easier to use Hilti anchors, which are specifically
|
||||
designed for use in drilled holes.</p>

||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are two versions of these bolts, the HKD and the HKDS. The latter are
|
||||
easier to use, as they have a "shoulder" around the top of the bolt which sits
|
||||
against the rock, meaning that the depth of the hole is not important.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To place a HKDS, drill the hole in the obvious manner until it is deep
|
||||
enough for the bolt to sit in without touching the bottom. If in doubt, drill
|
||||
it deep! When the hole is deep enough, grab a setting tool and start bashing it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Start with very gentle taps. The reason for this is so the shoulder can hold
|
||||
the bolt in position until it begins to grip the sides of the hole; if you
|
||||
start by smashing it with all your might, the shoulder will bend and the bolt
|
||||
will disappear, useless, into the depths of the hole. Once it has some grip you
|
||||
can start hitting a bit harder.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is very important to hit the Hilti setting tools exactly square, as they
|
||||
are made of very hard steel which is rather brittle and hence it is easy to
|
||||
shear the end off. When the bolt is fully set, you should be able to see marks
|
||||
on the shoulder of the spit from the four little teeth on the collar of the
|
||||
driver; don't worry if you can't see all four setting marks, but aim for two at
|
||||
least - one can easily be a consequence of leaning the driver over too far to
|
||||
one side.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Sometimes, in particularly hard rock, it can be impossible to get the
|
||||
setting marks. Use your judgement; if you're not making any progress despite
|
||||
sustained hammering, it's probably OK to stop!</p>

<h1>Bolt belays - Drilling and placing</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Once you've decided where to put your bolt, you have to actually physically
|
||||
place and set it. The methods used differ substantially depending on whether
|
||||
you are using hand bolts (spits) or Hilti HKDS's.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Before you actually start drilling, it is wise to flatten the surface of the
|
||||
rock around the bolt site. This allows the hanger to lie flat against the rock.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Different types of hanger have different footprints. When dressing the rock, use the pointed
|
||||
end of the hammer and tap gently, so as not to crack the rock below the
|
||||
surface.</p>

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Since the first cordless hammer drills made an appearance on Expo 1990
|
||||
thanks to sponsorship from Bosch, drills have been enthusiastically adopted as
|
||||
the best solution for large-scale bolting tasks; some of the fun and games of
|
||||
recent years, like the 21-bolt traverse over Gaffered to the Walls in 2003,
|
||||
would be unthinkable with hand bolts. However, drills are not suited to use
|
||||
with ordinary spits, as the setting process depends critically on the bottom of
|
||||
the hole being flat. It is possible to drill a hole part-way with a power drill
|
||||
and finish it off by hand, but this is tedious.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Hence we have found it easier to use Hilti anchors, which are specifically
|
||||
designed for use in drilled holes.</p>

||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are two versions of these bolts, the HKD and the HKDS. The latter are
|
||||
easier to use, as they have a "shoulder" around the top of the bolt which sits
|
||||
against the rock, meaning that the depth of the hole is not important.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To place a HKDS, drill the hole in the obvious manner until it is deep
|
||||
enough for the bolt to sit in without touching the bottom. If in doubt, drill
|
||||
it deep! When the hole is deep enough, grab a setting tool and start bashing it.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Start with very gentle taps. The reason for this is so the shoulder can hold
|
||||
the bolt in position until it begins to grip the sides of the hole; if you
|
||||
start by smashing it with all your might, the shoulder will bend and the bolt
|
||||
will disappear, useless, into the depths of the hole. Once it has some grip you
|
||||
can start hitting a bit harder.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is very important to hit the Hilti setting tools exactly square, as they
|
||||
are made of very hard steel which is rather brittle and hence it is easy to
|
||||
shear the end off. When the bolt is fully set, you should be able to see marks
|
||||
on the shoulder of the spit from the four little teeth on the collar of the
|
||||
driver; don't worry if you can't see all four setting marks, but aim for two at
|
||||
least - one can easily be a consequence of leaning the driver over too far to
|
||||
one side.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Sometimes, in particularly hard rock, it can be impossible to get the
|
||||
setting marks. Use your judgement; if you're not making any progress despite
|
||||
sustained hammering, it's probably OK to stop!</p>

<h1>Rigging</h1>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As no-one seems to want to volunteer to write this, I will adopt the
|
||||
usual policy of writing something for others to disagree with and change.
|
||||
The initial release of the guide is based on almost a quarter century of
|
||||
experience in rigging pitches on expedition, but much of that experience
|
||||
predates the widespread teaching of SRT to relative novices, and will
|
||||
inevitably be biased somewhat towards techniques prevalent a decade or
|
||||
more ago. The aims and principles are the same, but the advent of tools
|
||||
like a cordless drill have changed what is considered achievable.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>As the Introduction will emphasise, it's not the same as Yorkshire !
|
||||
While much of the material will be familiar to those with extensive SRT
|
||||
experience in the UK, every section will deal with factors unique to
|
||||
expedition work, and some will cover techniques very rarely seen at home...</p>

<h3>Prerequisites:</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This section of the Expo handbook assumes that you are familiar with all
|
||||
the usual manoeuvres, such as passing knots, rebelays and deviations,
|
||||
changing from abseil to prusik and vice versa. "Familiar" means you can do it
|
||||
in the dark with cold hands, with complete confidence in your safety and with
|
||||
reasonable efficiency. Choice of ropes is not covered, as by the time you are
|
||||
on the expedition it will be too late ! Neither is this guide concerned with
|
||||
personal SRT equipment except where the demands of caving in Austria require
|
||||
gear in addition to that you would normally use on a typical Yorkshire
|
||||
weekend.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Self-rescue may also be important in Austria - this should be covered in
|
||||
the rescue guide (but isn't - yet). It is recommended that you should
|
||||
practice all these techniques somewhere safe and warm - preferably in the UK
|
||||
before departure rather than up a tree behind the potato hut in a
|
||||
thunderstorm!</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Differences from Yorkshire.</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is new exploration, so you cannot rely on belays to have been tested
|
||||
by previous generations of cavers. Similarly, loose rocks will not have been
|
||||
cleared or dislodged by earlier parties. Natural belays may not be available,
|
||||
so you will have to place bolts, rather than look for the shiny P-hangers
|
||||
placed by CNCC parties. You won't know in advance how long pitches are going
|
||||
to be, so the ropes you have with you may need to be cut or knotted. Party
|
||||
size is usually small - everyone needs to be able to make a contribution to
|
||||
safe rigging. The first one down may be rigging a new rope to replace a
|
||||
damaged one, or one of less than ideal length. The second may have to remove
|
||||
the old rope on his descent.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Conversely, the caves are deeper, longer and colder than Yorkshire, so
|
||||
parties need to move safely and efficiently to avoid exhaustion and exposure.
|
||||
Flooding on pitches can be sudden and severe, water very cold, and the
|
||||
location of flood inlets not always obvious - rigging for security in flood
|
||||
is often critical. Ropes remain in place over several trips, and rock may be
|
||||
very sharp - every party must be alert to the danger of abrasion and be
|
||||
prepared to rerig if necessary. Finally, rigging points placed on exploration
|
||||
may need to be used on expeditions for years to come, so maintenance of bolts
|
||||
on the final derigging trips is important.</p>

<h1>Rigging Pitches in Austria</h1>

|

<p>Although progress is achingly slow, there are some bits of a CUCC-specific
|
||||
rigging chapter for this expedition handbook. So far we have:</p>

|

|

<p>As this doesn't cover very much, we recommend you look at Sherry Mayo's <a
|
||||
href="http://www.cavepage.magna.com.au/cave/SRTrig.html">Rigging for alpine SRT
|
||||
(Beta version)</a>. This is aimed at users in Australia, but is based on York
|
||||
and Oxford U.C.C. practices in the Picos de Europa (N.Spain), which is in many
|
||||
ways similar to Austria. <!--If you are reading this page from a local disc or CD
|
||||
(rather than over the net) you may find that there is a <a
|
||||
href="3rdparty/sherry/srtrig.htm">local copy</a> of this guide.--></p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is intended to add rigging guides to the descriptions for each pitch
|
||||
series in CUCC's major caves - these will be graphical, and based on sketch
|
||||
rigging guides currently in various survey and log books. Look for the
|
||||
rigging guide link in the descriptions. To help people add rigging
|
||||
guides to the cave descriptions, it is essential that rigging
|
||||
guides are drawn for any new rigging or rerigging each year. Ideally, this
|
||||
should be done by the person who did the rigging the next time he is at Base
|
||||
Camp (or even in the Top Camp log). It's also essential for future years to
|
||||
record any gear left <span lang="la">in situ</span>, so that we can keep the <a
|
||||
href="../fixaid.htm">Fixed Aids</a> list up to date.</p>

experience in the UK, there are factors unique to

expedition work, and techniques are very rarely seen at home...</p>

<h3>Writing up your cave rigging guide</h3>
|
||||
<p>At the same same as - or before - you draw up your survey notes for a new cave, you must sketch a rigging guide.
|
||||
<p>It is essential that rigging
|
||||
guides are drawn for any new rigging or rerigging each year so that we can add rigging
|
||||
guides to the online cave descriptions.
|
||||
<p>This write-up should be done by the person who did the rigging at the first available moment: usually this will be in the top-camp logbook.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It's also essential for future years to
|
||||
record any gear left <span lang="la">in situ</span>, so that we can keep the <a
|
||||
href="../fixaid.htm">Fixed Aids</a> list up to date.</p>
