Love the info. Wish they actually came out that easily hahaha

This is awesome!

What did I just watch? Who was he talking to? Why would you do such a thing? Are you supposed to do this on a mountain? Was this a party? Hey guy leave it in the rock maybe

walmart bag is cheaper:) but good video!,

What size is the core drill bit? I thought it was 7/16" (11mm ), but I can't find that size anywhere... I found 3/8" and 1/2".

Still fucked up the area….

Really glad to see Jerry’s character arc.

That's pretty cool! Well done

Checking it out now.

I agree , the more practiced the less you think about it when you do it in my opinion great educational video.

I had no idea this was going on 🤯

So 🔥 🌍 🧗‍♀️

This would make an awesome podcast/ series

I’ve never had the chance to try climbing but I can definitely see what the movement is all about.

You guys are awesome I found you threw the giveaway @OMAZE wishing for the best , anyways wow great work can’t wait to check your website out.

Is there a good online source someone recommends for the thrust bearing? Or a local place in town that would sell them? Like home depot, Lowe's harbor freight ect?

Where can I get the hydraulic puller ?

Looks like your typical bishop or red rocks climber

Awesome concept, but no way you cleaned up all the chalk, so maybe not the best execution?

Those speakers tho... gawd

You know what's funny is that in making this video you still caused damage regardless. I can say Access Fund has deliberately caused more damage for a PSA promo than I have in my entire life climbing.

thank you

it took more effort to remove than to install what a waste of time....lol

Can you please share how to make this tool? Thank you

There are also Biffy Bags that tie around your waist so you don't need to aim

interesting but i dont think this is the easiest way to do something like this. if i understand correctly you need to upgrade the anchors? If I have to pull out damaged wedge anchors out of concrete I drill out the anchor and drop in a new one, if the hole was damaged ie too big i drill that up to the next larger hole and use the next size anchor. a simple battery impact drill would get 10 x as many done in a day.

There are a lot of Jerrys out in the world. We don't need them!!!

No offense, 10 min to remove wedge! I can do it with impact wrench just by seizing nut and spining until wedge brake 10 min will be more than enough.

Thats the most ridiculousbuse of a (fake) tuning fork that i ever witnessed, or that i would ever wanna see again in my life...lol and again lol... I guess this is what we call primitive minded person using modern tool...

Your supposed to take the tunning fork, attached to a rod that equals the same length to resonate to a frequency that will be able to vibrate fast enough to cut the bolt not hit with a hammer ! just wow....

Enjoyed this!

All cairns are not created equally, nor should they be treated equally

my god, why didn't you do it your self, you made the tool, you know it better. so painful to watch.

after rotating, why not just add a bushing, washer and nut then tighten the nut down to pull it out, the press looks very slow and clumsy to attach

Ok. Next technique please. I need to replaced 300 or so due to corrosion, I have to replace them with 304 stainless steel bolts.

What diameter of bolt is being used to screw into the tapped sleeve?

What diameter of bolt is used to screw into the tapped threads of the sleeve?The main problem I have found with removing the sleeves of power bolts (AKA five piece anchors) is that even if you tap the inside of the sleeve with a 9mm tap, there is no way to find a 9mm bolt to fit it (no 9mm bolts are produced as far as I know since it is not a standard size). Do you have a source for 9mm bolts? Or did you have one custom machined?

I've found that just using an old "beater" 3/8" bit, you can just drill out the cone. Then any remnants can be easily removed when the 1/2" hole is being drilled out for the replacement bolt. Careful when the metal bits come out of the hole. They're very hot. It's a good way to "Up-cycle" a used up drill bit.

Super cool and excellent modification of the pitons! It seems like this method of extraction is pretty hard on the rock, judging by the crater of abuse left around the vacated bolt hole. If you're going to damage the rock in this fashion, why is this more advantageous than chopping and patching, which leaves a smaller eyesore, and drilling another hole?

Yeah well how about adding water on a severely overhanging route ??

I have found that I am having 60% (+/-), success rate of removing bolts, otherwise the sleeves snap off. I am removing the bolts in sandstone. I have noticed that when the sandstone is soft, the bolt cones out no problem, fully intact. I am using a hurley junior to remove drop in anchors. I have a 1/2" x 3/8" coupling on the end of the tap bolt. On the end of the 3/8" coupling I use a 1" x 3/8" bolt to screw in to the drop anchor. The drop in anchors are 1" long. I tighten the bolt into the drop anchor until it can go no further. I then tighten the tap bolt to pull the drop in anchor sleeve out. Are any other users having the same results? Am I missing a step to keep the drop anchor sleeve from snapping off?

Nice work guys! What brand & model of core bits are you using? Also, if you use a hanger with a 12mm hole and install it over the sleeve of the Fixe Triplex bolt so that it sits behind the lip on the sleeve, you can use the hanger to pull out the sleeve without having to use the "tuning fork" to wedge under the sleeve and pry it out.

Where do you find the core drill bits?

picked one up a lumpy, stuck it in my pack, used it at castleton. thanks wag-bag

A man's gotta pay his dues! ;)

It gives me strength.

Heck yea dudes! Gettin' it done! I always had trouble figuring out which trail was the established one when going from the Washing Machine boulder up to Patio Roof area because of several little social trails/cut throughs. Now, a classy little Stairway to Heaven :)

Props to The Access Fund...representin' the voice of climbers on Capitol Hill! Thanks Brady!

Good job! Thank you for your work!

Definitely Rumney.
