What's wrong with this picture?

Placing a cam? Slotting a nut? Slinging a tree?

There's two bolts and I brought Al up off them,but yes I was only hooked in with a chain of cams. It's the top of the first pitch of Totem and theres enough ledge there to stand comfortably. the big thing is the helmit. the top of skyline traverse is above and its a 150 foot or more ramp that funnels loose rock onto the Candy corner area. we did it the next day and I understood perfectly about wearing a skull hat at Seneca. Nobody noticed that my backup knot had come undone.
I can't wait to go back to Seneca or somewhere with some great multipitch.Devils Tower would be the shiznickity.

I try to be a good man but all that comes
of trying is I feel more guilty.

A bowline on a bight would have been the ticket. Clip a loop to each bolt and equalize. You can do the same thing with a two loop figure eight.

Ahhh come on now piggie Seneca has more than 5.4 mank. Its just that everybody goes there to climb the 5.4 mank! People will line up to do 5.easy to a summit.
I see they are still lopping off mountains in Eastern Kentucky. Electricity isn't cheap.
