Dodgy bolts on Tocando El Vacio, Cogmans

[KaiPF]

HI everyone,

Jed and I went to give Tocando El Vacio (26), Cogmans, Montagu a go this weekend. The bolts were corroded AF, so we bailed. We'd like to rebolt it, but have no experience rebolting so we'd like to learn. Anyway, don't climb it (unless you plan not to fall).

here are some pics.

Having been up there sometime ago (a long time ago) and thinking similar things, you guys were my hero's last week!!
That was until I saw you abbing off

Contact me and we can make a plan. With the state of (corrosion) and a farmer in Ashton telling me about the sea air that he receives, I still question replacing with Glue-in's @AndyDavies ?
Or
It may just be dodgy Spanish hardware

If the re-bolters have the skillset. I would always go with glue-ins. This goes for new routes too, as we would not be having this thread if that was the case.

It would be better to re-bolt the classic/5-star routes in Montagu first.

Esp in the grade range of 13--> 24

A 26 multi-pitch 3 star should be lower on the list.

Cheers
Cormac
