They are pretty bomber and the nice big hanger allows for nearly anything to be clipped into them. They do require a "setting time" which can be close to 24 hours.
Cue part two of Raleigh's article:

I was the thickly-built one with the grey Jeep Compass. I hang out with Bill Gee a lot. Taught him how to set 8mm bolts, even have some incriminating photos around some place
Keep me in the loop, sooner or later we'll cross paths and I'll be able to give you a good intro to bolting course.

Also got another field phone from the GI surplus vendor (not as nice as my "Dutchie" models) and just enjoyed B-S ing with other cavers.
Evan, one of these days you'll have to help me up the Grand Teton. At least before the knees give out (I give them about 15 more years).
Cheerios all,
