Leaving crashpad and gear under a boulder long-term – any tips?

Hey,
I’ve found a spot that’s pretty remote and steep to get to. No one else really goes there. There’s a big boulder that keeps everything dry and out of the sun, and I’m thinking about leaving a crashpad and some climbing gear there so I don’t have to haul it up every time.
Has anyone done something similar? What actually works to keep stuff safe from moisture, mice, mold etc. over weeks or months?
Would wrapping everything in a tarp be enough, or should I use a plastic box with some moisture absorbers? Any real-world experiences would be appreciated.

Is the Bosch GBH 18V‑18 good enough for bolting in hard rock?

I’m new to bolting and I’m looking to buy a rotary hammer. I already have Bosch batteries, so I’m going with Bosch.
The question is basically weight vs power. The GBH 18V-18 is 1.8 kg (without battery). From what I’ve gathered, the 18V-18 should be good, but if I want to drill a bigger hole for another project, can it do it (doesn’t have to be fast)? Like a 20 mm hole?
The larger models have a chiselling function as well. Anything I should keep in mind regarding that?

Would appreciate if you can share personal experiences with these machines.
