Sustainable Bolting and Bolt Removal

Single Point Lower-offs

One of the major causes of accidents in sport climbing is failure to thread and re-tie correctly at the lower-off and with the availability of safe and reliable no-thread equipment these can easily be avoided.

Our wide range of lower-offs includes traditional rings with our innovative parallel eye hangers, stainless steel karabiners, the well established "pigtail" design and our own Monster Hook, the safest, strongest and most durable direct hang-in lower-off on the market.

We offer this wide variety of both glue-in and bolt-in lower-offs with differing material specifications to allow customers to choose between economy, durability and visual impact.

 

We recommend always fitting two bolts at a lower-off or belay point, usually one lower-off and one standard bolt.

Glue-in

New for 2009

Solid Leg Lower-Off Bolts

We are introducing our new range of solid leg bolts as an alternative to all our current twisted leg bolts in standard and large eye as well as parallel eye for use in any of our lower-off and chain set applications.

The advantages and disadvantages of the different leg designs are explained in the Protection Bolt page of this catalogue.

We are redesigning the lower-off and chain set pages to make them simpler to use, until this is completed please ask us for details and pricing. The lower-off shown is an 8mm X 100mm Parallel Eye Bolt with 12mm Ring.

 


Monster Hook

The ultimate in one-piece lower-offs, simple, safe rope hang- in, unbelievable strength and an anticipated life span of well over 25 years used as a toprope anchor.
Developed for both sport climb lower-offs and as belay/ abseil points on multi-pitch routes this 12mm bar stainless anchor is constructed without welds or moving parts for long term reliability.

A completely safe rope containment system ensures that once in, even if the climber moves above and falls the rope stays safely in place.

The machined triple-start grooves give excellent glue distribution, sufficient glue mass for full cure and outstanding pull out resistance- normally well over 60kN in medium limestone!

Failure Load 58,4kN (to rope release)

And this is how to thread the rope:- Push a bight up through the eye and over the hook, pull back down and then up over the top as shown.

 

 

 

10mm & 12mm Rod „Pigtail“

A classic amongst lower-offs, easy to use,safe and readily replaceable.
We manufacture these from both 10mm and 12mm rod for even longer life and resistance to bending open.

Hammer fit over any of our bolts or hangers or your existing bolt.

For security against theft we can supply these welded shut on any of our range of bolts.

6mm or 8mm Rod Twisted Leg Bolt with 8, 10 or 12mm Ring

(Shown is a 12mm ring fitted to an 8mm x 80mm bolt)

This unique parallel eye design removes the need for a second ring but still allows the ring to stand at 90° to the rock for chafe-free running of the rope.
The eye is dimensioned to take additional karabiners and specially angled so that in use the back of the ring rests on the rock in use eliminating flexing of the bolt.
The loose ring will rotate in use reducing wear and extending its life.
All rings have a nominal internal diameter of 45mm.

6mm or 8mm Rod Twisted Leg Parallel Eye Bolt with 1 or 2 x 10/12mm S.S. Wiregate Karabiner(s)

Note. These karabiners are now supplied with a bent gate for easier clipping, see Karabiners in Maillons page of this catalogue.

 

This unique design removes the need for an intermediate ring but still allows the captive karabiner to stand at 90° to the rock for chafe-free running of the rope.

Fitted with one or two10mm wiregate karabiners back-to-back for absolute security. Each karabiner rated to 30kN (our tests).
The eye is dimensioned to take additional karabiners and specially angled so that in use the back of the karabiners rests on the rock in use eliminating flexing of the bolt.

These use a 10mm or 12mm rod stainless steel wiregate karabiner. Normal gate karabiners which are effectively hanging upside down and resting on the cliff get jammed with water-borne debris in heavy rain, for this reason we only use wiregates.

For safety we strongly recommend the dual karabiner setup to reduce the chance of unclipping but some customers prefer single. Single karabiners should never be used for top-roping.
