glue in bolt Guide

Our glue in bolt Guide is a very special product. This piton is designed for use in easy and short climbing passages. Here it replaces the combination of fixed point and quickdraw. In other words, it is perfect for easy climbing passages where you simply have to thread the rope accordingly.

This product got its name from the Italian mountain guides. Many of them use this hook on their classic guide tours. Omitting the quickdraw saves both time and weight.

The piton can also be used as an abseil point in an emergency. However, it is not a regularly recommended abseil point!

In short. Very popular in Italy for easy climbing passages and on guided tours. Let’s see if it also finds favor in German-speaking countries.

Pro

The glue in bolt Guide is not a hook for normal belaying of climbing routes. It is specially designed for use on easy climbing passages. I.e. for frequently used routes such as normal routes with climbing passages or popular guided tours.

This is because you can quickly thread the rope properly and don’t have to get out a quickdraw. This makes walking on a short rope in such places much safer, for example.

Consequently, the glue in bolt is also a veritable alternative on short ridge sections.

Of course, there are always arguments about such products. But you can put a glue in bolt right there! True, of course. But the experience of Italian customers has shown that a certain area of application seems to be ideal for this product.

If it is of help to you. Here you go! If you don’t like the glue in bolt. Nobody has to use it.

One more argument in favor of this product. In an emergency, the glue in bolt is a reliable abseiling point!
