Bühler bolt with ring – rope lies flat!
The design of this piton means that the climbing ropes lie flat on the rock. As a result, pulling off the rope can be a little tedious.
Therefore, pay close attention to the terrain when choosing a location. Avoid other obstacles or rock formations that create additional friction. Such as the edges of ledges. The glue in bolt with ring should be set as high as possible above such ledges.
Glass mortar cartridges vs. injection mortar
We recommend that you install this Bühler bolt with ring with injection mortar to install. Especially if you are placing several pitons in a row. For example, on a longer abseil route or in a climbing area.
This is because setting with glass mortar cartridges requires a lot of experience and practice. In addition, it often depends on the weather conditions. Or to put it better. In very hot weather, the use of glass mortar cartridges is even trickier due to the extremely short curing time!
If you still want to use cartridges, the Fischer RM 10 is the right cartridge for you.
