I could not help thinking about the bolt that you all must rely upon that is attached to the roof of Titan.  I assume it is a normal expanding ss rawlbolt at least 12mmm. I can't imagine how it would have been fitted - Batman hanging from the roof?

John, what you've gotta remember is that Moose climbed it all the way up from the bottom (i.e. there was no way in from the top), amazing amount of work (and nerve). I guess it just comes down to trusting your gear and disengaging 'that' part of your brain!
