Joe Kinder blogs and an open project again

Joe Kinder has written a nice blog with great pictures of Oliana actions also including some night bolting. Joe has put in 15 bolts on a new amazing 40 metres line in Oliana and it is an open project. It seems this is the new nice trend. "It took me a day to bolt and it will surely take me another day to clean it all up. Then one day to try out the move and see if the bolts are correct, so call it a a chunk of work but it is my pleasure. I enjoy the process and it is really easy to bolt at Oliana because there are so many hook placements and features. Plus it isn't crazy steep. It's such a good experience everyone should feel at some point." (c) Colette McInerney
