It's like climbing a rock face as 'leader' to get to the belay point.


Some of my ladder bolting eyes were installed by throwing a couple of
rock climber mates out of a window and letting them use their gecko-
like sucker feet to hang in place while the drilled it.

The hardest part was convincing them of the morality of bolting!


Another climber friend attached ladder eyes to the back of his house
by turning it into a climbing wall and working his way gradually up
it, drilling as he went.
