Greg German demonstrates spinning and a hydraulic puller tool at the Future of Fixed Anchors II Conference in Red Rocks on April 2, 2016 by removing a wedge bolt. The purpose of this technique is to aid the removal of old climbing anchors in order to reuse the old hole and upgrade to better hardware. Visit https://www.accessfund.org/ffa for the full proceedings of the conference.
Please note that this technique exerts extreme force on the anchor and surrounding rock — “dinner plating” (i.e. a plate of rock fracturing off at the surface of the hole) or compromising the rock in some other way is a possibility when using this technique and will depend on rock type. The best uses of this tool are still being worked out by the rebolting community.
