EU funded rebolting program for Kalymnos

Climb Kalymnos reports that a EU funded rebolting program has been approved and will be implemented in 2015. Here are some of the details, which results in only 10% of the bolts being replaced: - 2400 stainless-steel glue-in bolts (316L, 12mm) are to be used for rebolting existing routes - 400 V-type anchors with two opposed carabiners are to replace older lower-offs - 580 carabiners are to be placed on anchors without carabiners or used to replace worn carabiners - 100 new routes are to be equipped using stainless-steel bolts (316L, 12mm) and V-type anchors with two opposed carabiners
