So you've identified your route and are all geared up. On to the drilling! AMI instructor and Chair of the Cumbria Bolt Fund Dan Robinson shows us how to test for solid rock and the best practices when drilling.

These are not designed to be standalone education videos and anyone intending to bolt for climbing should seek individual training from experienced or qualified persons before attempting anything you see in these clips.

Thanks to the Cumbria Bolt Fund, AMI and Land and Sky Media for contributing to this BMC TV film series.
