Today 5 volunteers braved the rain and had a great day down at Dancing Ledge with only a few small showers.

8 routes were re-bolted. One originally had 2 bolts and a belay that was hanging out of the rock (!) now has a shiny new belay with 4 shiny new glue ins.

We cut off all the old bolts most of them came out with a stiff pull - being some of the original bolts placed in Dorset these weren't kinked so are straight bars of steel, the only thing holding them in is the tight glued hole they are in! There are plenty more like that out there... Scary!

Spent around £500 today plus all the volunteers fuel getting to the crag and don't forget all the electric to fill the batteries. So donations welcome (or maybe to your local fund if your not a Dorset climbers).

We had a great day. Check out https://m.facebook.com/dorsetboltfund/ for more info and some pics.
