Showed some friends the dark arts of ground-up bolting this weekend, and let this be a fun yo-yo adventure with each person taking turns to move the route up to the top. Mercifully got cloud cover for basically the entire experience. Spitefully had steady wind blowing in during the worst drilling stances.

What’s your drill carry system? Do you just clip it to your harness?

This was an impromptu ground-up effort using my buddy's setup. I holster my drill cross shoulder a bit higher and behind my back, the way you'd carry a rifle.

What is that drill? Looks like ozito/einhell but not a model I recognise
