<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 drilling using Hang Fix anchors.</p>
<h3>Hang Fix anchors</h3>

<h3>Spits</h3>
<p>Anchor placement and dressing the rock is achieved in the same way as for Hang Fix anchors. A spit should be threaded on to the driver, placed on the rock and hammered. Rotate the driver clockwise, as you hammer. This will move the teeth around and ensure that the spit is firmly threaded on to the driver. If the spit becomes unthreaded as in hit the threads will be ruined. Every few rotations remove the spit and tap out the dust. Keep drilling until the surface lines up with the line on the driver. Then pop a cone in the end of the spit and hammer it firmly into the hole. The spit should now be flush with the rock. 😳</p></body>
