"Exploring Bolting Techniques: A Beginner's Endeavor"

Jan 20, 2024 - 10:27amSummary: This morning, I started learning the basics of bolting for highlining and climbing, including the necessary tools and materials. I realized the importance of acquiring these skills as there are suitable places to bolt, and I'm eager to progress in this direction. In addition to bolting, I finished knitting a pink sweater and am planning to print out a pattern for Chandler's sweater to work on next. While I have other tasks and thoughts to organize, I'm focusing on simpler activities until Caroline arrives, as my weekend plans don't require immediate attention but any progress would be beneficial.

Transcript: So I spent a good amount of time this morning doing a first pass on what it might be like to learn how to bolt for highlining and climbing. Just kind of learning what tools are needed, what kind of glue, if I do glue-ins, what kind of mechanical bolts. I've kind of been doing it for some time, thinking about it, but yeah, it's just becoming more and more apparent that there's probably some good places to bolt and it would be good to learn. So I'd like to start moving that direction and making that happen. I also finished my pink sweater this morning and I'm probably going to print out the sweater for Chandler and start getting moving on that and see how that goes. Yeah, I think that that would be nice if I can do that and get that to him in some reasonable amount of time. I also have lots of other things that I'm thinking about and doing and going to get those down on paper, but for now I'm going to do some easy stuff while I wait for Caroline to come by and we'll kind of go from there. I mean, everything I have here is more or less for the weekend. It doesn't need to be done today. If I make any progress on it, that would be great and we'll go from there.
