+<h1>Bolt belays - placing</h1>
 
-<p>Most people on Austria expeditions will be familiar with the use of bolt

+place and set it. The methods used differ substantially depending on whether

-hoping for a join-the-dots trip will be disappointed. These bolts can usually
-be found fairly easily by anyone familiar with expo rigging, <i>provided a
-good rigging guide was drawn up by the previous explorers</i>. Y-hangs are
-common at pitch heads, so check that you find both bolts. Lower down, it is
-as well to know whether a bolt has been placed for a rebelay or a deviation,
-as it may not become obvious which until some way down the pitch. Such a
-rigging guide is also useful to show which existing bolts should <b>not</b>
-be used. Inevitably some bolts will be badly placed, or may become damaged.
-It is as important not to use these as it is to find the right ones.</p>

-caves CUCC have explored over the years. The best place for a bolt may
-be far from obvious until the pitch has been descended. Or maybe the best
-place is obvious, but that place is hard to reach. It is tempting to try
-to reach for the best placement, but overstretching or an insecure perch
-may lead to a poor bolt in the perfect place. This is very much to be
-avoided, since it is now impossible to put a good bolt in the perfect
-place - the rock around the first placement will have been stressed and
-another bolt should not be placed closer than about 20 cm from it.</p>

-<h3>Placing bolts</h3>
+<p>Old-style hand-drilled spits are self-drilling; the spit sleeve functions
+both as a drill bit and as an anchor. Screw it firmly onto the driver and tap
+it gently against the surface of the rock, turning it around slightly between
+each tap and removing it to blow dust away every half dozen blows or so. (You
+should also tap the spit itself gently to free dust compacted into it). Once
+the hole is established you can begin to hit a bit harder, but don't overdo it;
+the idea is to powder the rock at the point of the spit without setting up
+cracks through the rest of the rock which will weaken it.</p>
 
-<p>Placing a bolt is a simple matter of drilling a hole and inserting a rock
+<p>Watch out for the spit <i>cratering</i>; this is when flakes of rock crack
-anchor. The bottom end of the rock anchor is expanded by some mechanism,
+away around the rim of the hole. A severely cratered spit is greatly weakened
-and thus grips tightly in the hole, resisting any attempt to pull it
+as the end of the sleeve is not supported by the rock. With some types of
-out. The anchor is strongest if loaded at right angles to its axis, ie.
+hanger (bollards and Clowns) it is possible to drive the spit in a bit further
-parallel with the rock surface. Hence for a vertical pitch, it is normally
+into the bottom of the crater, particularly if the rope is thin, but this
-best to place the anchor in a vertical rock surface.</p>
+renders it almost impossible to use other types of hanger with that spit.</p>
 
-<p>The hole may be made in either of two ways. For the penalty of carrying
+<p>There is normally a line around the driver stem around 3mm above the thread;
-considerable extra weight, a cordless power drill is the quickest way to
+keep drilling until this point is reached. (This typically takes around 15-20
-drill the hole. The heaviest item is the drill battery, which must, of
+minutes of drilling). Now grab yourself a cone, put it in the end of the spit,
-course, be removed from the cave each time it needs charging. This method is

-of the most use where a lot of bolts need to be placed on a pitch series
+by a change in the tone of the sound when you hit it; it should rise gradually
-relatively accessible from an entrance. Lots of bolts are also needed for
+to a high ring. If the hole is the right depth this will coincide with the spit
-climbs up or exposed traverses to reach inaccessible passages.</p>
+being flush with the surface. Now you can remove the driver and screw in a
+hanger, and Bob's your uncle.</p>
 
-<p>The older (and more reliable, but slower) method is to use the anchor
+<h2>Power-drills and Hilti anchors</h2>
-itself as the drill bit, driven in by use of a hammer. 8mm self-drilling
-rock anchors have teeth around their bottom for this purpose. The anchor is
-attached to a bolt driver, which is then repeatedly pounded with a hammer,
-whilst rotating the anchor by hand every couple of whacks. When this gets
-a little stiff, the anchor is pulled out of its hole and the dust and rock
-chips blown out. The process is repeated until the top of the anchor is
-just below the rock surface. A small conical "wedge" is then inserted into
-end of the anchor (thin end into the anchor) and the pair put back in the
-hole. Three or four good hard whacks with the hammer "set" the anchor by
-driving the wedge into the bottom end, expanding it. Beware of hitting it too
-many times, as this will start to weaken the rock around the anchor.</p>
 
-<p>The hole produced by the power drill is a different shape from that produced

-self-drilling anchor is set into a powerdrill hole, the wedge will not be
-driven into the anchor and an unsafe placement will result.  To use a
-self-drilling anchor, it is best to under-drill the hole, and finish off to
-just the right depth, and a square hole-bottom with a hand driver.</p>
 
-<p>More efficiently for power-drilled holes, use a form of anchor specially
+<p>Since the first cordless hammer drills made an appearance on Expo 1990
-intended for these holes. These anchors use a smaller hole, so you get more
+thanks to sponsorship from Bosch, drills have been enthusiastically adopted as
-holes for your money from one battery charge, and the design of anchor means
+the best solution for large-scale bolting tasks; some of the fun and games of
-that the bottom of the hole is not used in the setting process, and the depth
+recent years, like the 21-bolt traverse over Gaffered to the Walls in 2003,

-anchor goes right in!)</p>
+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>
