Reply to comment by Toitonic in Pull-up bar broke out of the wall. How do I actually secure it on a sandy stone wall? by Toitonic

I'd be tempted to drill the existing holes out a little larger and epoxy large wood dowels into the voids, then predrill and lag bolt into those. Like 3/4" dowels.

Definitely an interesting idea. But wouldn't the epoxy Drip out of the hole cause it's liquid? Or would you seal the hole with tape while hardening the epoxy? I will also drill the holes bigger in the back either way (mortar or epoxy) to make the sealant itself like a dewel.

The hole would mostly be full of dowel. Tape the opening during curing.
