ReBolting- Maintaining Climbing Routes in Switzerland

Old, rusty, or unsafe equipment, anchor connections made of worn-out ropes, or an overgrown route - there are many reasons to maintain a climbing route on the rock to ensure climbers' safety. But who ensures that routes are maintained, the equipment is properly replaced, and the character of the route is preserved? And who funds it all?
We follow the Rebolting association from Switzerland, dedicated to the maintenance of old climbing routes and supporting climbers in their maintenance efforts. Members of the association give us insights into maintenance work in the Engelhörner climbing garden and at Gemschiflueh "Chästeleit". We also met Michel Piola and Daniel Anker, who developed the route "Le Chant du Cygne" on the north face of the Eiger in 1991, to discuss a possible maintenance of this historic route.

[@philosborn1840]

It was said that there was a time when drilling was not allowed. How then were the holes made?

[@thephore]

I guess he meant that before that, pitons were widely used instead of drilling. Which you put in group-up.

[@albrigo]

Heureux de voir qu'il y a des bénévoles qui s'occupent du re-bolting des voies d'escalade suisses (ReBolting, Plan Vertical, Eastbolt, Scoiattoli) soutenus financièrement par le CAS via son organisation SwissBolt, mais je trouve qu'il faudrait mettre en place un système de certification de sécurité, car les voies re-boltées ne sont pas vérifiées ni par le CAS ni par des professionnels.

Super documentaire...une question quel est le couple de serrage des écrous ?

[@veggibio1926]

45NM. On utilise le Fischer FAZ2 inox a4. Et j’ajoute loctite 243. Ou on colle…

[@permapunter]

RE- th-cam.com/video/kq7hWKNDdYM/w-d-xo.html - are spin to set glues commonly used in Switzerland ?

How many bolts can stand a piece of rock?
I mean, thinking in our and next generation, is rebolting a sustainable way to proceed?

[@herhal263]

man hätte auch erwähnen können, dass es auch gute Gründe gibt eine Route nicht zu sanieren: z.B. wenn die Erstbegehung clean war und somit eine klassische Alpine Route zerstört wird, rein für den Zweck der Errichtung einer Freiluftkletterhalle!
