The UIAA is hosting a rebolting workshop an course in Kalymnos, Greece from 2-3 May. The event forms part of the annual meeting of the UIAA Safety Commission.
Over recent years, the UIAA has invested significant resources into the subject of rock anchors and bolts, particularly in the field of corrosion and stress corrosion cracking failures. The results of this work and research are available on a dedicated website page for climbers and bolters.
The workshop in Greece will be led by a number of the UIAA’s international bolting experts and is organised in partnership with Rebolt Kalymnos, the Kalymnos municipality, and UIAA member association for Greece, Hellenic Federation of Mountaineering and Climbing. The programme will include:
- A practical bolting and rebolting field workshop
- Theory sessions and field practice
- Sessions encouraging the exchange of good practices
- UIAA international expertise and local rebolting experience
- A focus on safe, durable and sustainable bolting / rebolting practices
The event is primarily aimed at bolters and climbers from Greece or visiting the country and those from nearby countries. However, anyone interested in attending the event is welcome.
