Hey guys and gals,
Just watched a guy break a glue in at The Gallery Wall. The route is "All Draws & No Brains". It is the second bolt and there is a rock with a "x" on it at the base of the route.
Thank you for your time.
BE SAFE!

Bolt 6 failed due to bolt placed in poor rock quality.
A new bolt has been placed in better rock quality.

Did you get a picture of the failed wave bolt & where it was placed? It would be worth having Ian distribute that to the developers for future consideration.slaps wrote:Bolt 6 failed due to bolt placed in poor rock quality.
