For example, the hook eye on the side of the rock is recessed into the rock and fully glued. On the one hand, this complies with the manufacturer’s specifications. On the other hand, our standard-compliant processing clearly sets us apart from non-professional providers. As a rule, this important detail is carelessly omitted for reasons of convenience.

Reduction of legal risks

As a professional company, we place the highest value on the legal protection of our clients.

Firstly, we create detailed technical construction documentation. This documents the certified materials and their installation, for example.

Secondly, every client also receives a digital route book. On the one hand, it is the fulfillment of the legal obligation of every climbing garden owner. And secondly, it forms the basis for the legally required annual climbing area maintenance or climbing area maintenance log.

As a result, we reduce the legal risks of our clients through our professional services. This focus on the obligations of the climbing area owner (Handbuch Klettergarten 2019, Land Tirol, page 28) distinguishes us fundamentally from semi-professional service providers!

On request, we are also happy to take over the above-mentioned annual climbing area maintenance and preparation of the maintenance logs.

Planning process for climbing area rebolting

Joint planning with the client is the basis for every climbing area rebolting at bolting.eu.

We attach great importance to creating the necessary basis for each project. This is the only way to ensure that the desired positioning and objectives can be achieved. And secondly, that the budget is calculated correctly.

Goals & Storyline

The starting point for climbing area rebolting is the definition of the tourism goals. This is because they are interwoven with the storyline required to achieve the objectives. In other words, the following important questions must be asked:

Firstly. For which target group can a great climbing area be created?
Secondly. What “story” should this climbing area tell? How does it fit into the storyline of the tourist region? What longing could it awaken in guests? What are the USP points?

The picture shows a graphic for a planning process for climbing area rebolting. A ring-shaped graphic shows the planning stages of defining objectives, required measures, budget, implementation and monitoring. In the center is the designation "Joint planning process" with a logo.

Measures required Climbing area rebolting

Once the goals or storyline have been defined, the next step is to determine the necessary measures.

This means that we at bolting.eu take a very close look at the area in question. In doing so, we collect a number of criteria that are crucial for us. For example, the rock quality, route potential, etc.

The detailed check of the site determines the structural possibilities. Consequently, we draw up a catalog of measures which our clients then coordinate with us.

Budget climbing area rebolting

As former tourism region employees, we know exactly what we are talking about. A capped cost structure is a very important factor in infrastructure projects.

That is why we always work out a realistic budget with our customers that is adhered to 100%. On the one hand, we plan accordingly. And secondly, we create highly professional project documents for various funding bodies. For example, nationwide funding pots, tourism department programs, EU programs or federal infrastructure projects.

Implementation

When planning the climbing area rebolting, we attach great importance to the highest possible guest satisfaction. After all, you cannot influence the rock conditions and rock quality. What you can control during the climbing area rebolting, however, is the user-friendliness for your guests.

For us, this simply means perfectly drilled climbing routes. We lay the foundations for carefree climbing fun and countless successes through fluid and fear-free climbing.

We achieve high guest satisfaction and a correspondingly high revisit rate with the bolting.eu 10-point quality promise.

The most important points here are:

  • Increased number of hooks at the entrances
  • Hook spacing adapted to the level of difficulty (the easier – the closer)
  • Ideal clip positions – even for small climbers
  • Line guidance with minimal rope friction
  • Rope-protecting position of the lower off
  • etc.

Climbing areas renovated by bolting.eu receive the bolting.eu audit. This enables our clients to communicate to their guests that all important criteria have been taken into account in the climbing facilities. An important unique selling point to clearly stand out from “just any” climbing areas!

The framework infrastructure

On the other hand, the framework infrastructure should be coherent and of high quality. Only then will your guests feel comfortable and be happy to return.

Firstly, this includes a balanced route-to-parking space ratio.

Secondly, a coherent guidance system with modern information boards. We recommend using the AWIS – GIP system of the Federal Ministry or the Alpine associations for efficient infrastructure management.

Thirdly, a coherent corporate design that matches the storyline of your tourism region.

Fourthly, in order to compete for climbing guests in a contemporary way, we also recommend inviting rest and play areas. This additional benefit is often a decisive factor in the decision to visit a climbing region. Especially for family guests!

Climbing area rebolting with glue in bolt

The most long-term and best quality solution for modernizing a climbing area is glue in bolt.

The installation of these fixed points is more time-consuming and complex than the processing of expansion bolt with bolt hanger. Processing must also be carried out much more cleanly. However, this best possible quality and stability pays off over time. Because glue in bolt are maintenance-free!

Consequently, we recommend glue in bolt as standard for every climbing area rebolting.

By placing an order with bolting.eu, you have the guarantee of a high-quality implementation. Because we set the standard when it comes to“setting up climbing routes with glue in bolt “.

  • Efficient working system
  • bolting.eu countersinks and glues the hook eye on the side of the rock as standard (more stability and longevity)
  • We only use high-quality injection mortar from the Fischer brand with the corresponding building approval
  • we only use injection mortar from squeeze-out cartridges for renovations --> always the ideal amount of adhesive
  • Complete sealing of the drilling hole
  • Continuous, written documentation of the processing
  • Completely maintenance-free
The picture shows drilling material for a climbing area. In the foreground are some glue in bolt, behind it a red ejection gun with injection mortar and a drilling hole ejector.
bolting.eu clearly recommends only using glue in bolt or injection mortar with press-out cartridges when renovating climbing routes!

Climbing area rebolting with expansion bolt

Setting up climbing routes with expansion bolt is clearly the worse option for renovations. This type of hook has a number of disadvantages. We therefore only recommend it for heavily overhanging climbing areas.

Please note. The combination of expansion bolt and bolt hanger consists of a total of five components! It is also a so-called “friction system” for which the rock base must be correspondingly hard and solid.

Experience has shown that, on the one hand, climatic influences such as temperature (expansion of metals) can lead to loose lugs. On the other hand, wind with fixed slings, vibrations during lowering, etc. can cause lugs to fall off. There is also a risk of the lugs bending.

The picture shows an example of poor bolting know-how. A bolt hanger protruding from the gray rock. Unfortunately, the silver thread of the expansion bolt is clearly visible, and the lug is incorrectly hanging freely in the air instead of resting directly on the rock.
expansion bolt are clearly the worse alternative for climbing area rebolting. This is because the lugs can become loose or even fall off for many reasons. glue in bolt, on the other hand, are maintenance-free!
