thelawgoddess Posted September 6, 2002 Posted September 6, 2002 uh, those seem to be soil nails. got any granite ones? Quote
Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted September 6, 2002 Posted September 6, 2002 That's an innovative bolting device, but it seems like it could be difficult to rappel with. Not to mention, gasoline engines are loud and polluting. Still, on the plus side, the front scoop and backhoe would be valuable for digging routes out of SmithMud. Quote

Rick_Sharpless Posted September 6, 2002 Author Posted September 6, 2002 Indeed Dr, the wise folks at Yenter "reshaping nature responsibly" will even place the 20 foot bolts while on rappel. See link. And lawgoddess, the "technology for launching missiles from submarines" that shots the 20 foot bolt at 200 mph will, I'm sure, send a smaller projectile into even the hardest granite. nails on rappel Quote
