Can retaining wall posts be bolted to bedrock?

Hi Everyone, 

 

I'm planning to build a retaining wall and the height is 1m. I'm planning to dig holes 800mm deep but unfortunately some of them happened to be right on the bedrock and I can't go deeper than 100mm which is not enough. so I'm guessing my only option is to drill holes in bedrock and bolt down the posts using base plated posts or similar methods. 

is this the only option available? is there any other methods? 

Thanks
