Speaking of rebolting, Wes thanks for Mercy! now i dont feel so bad every time i blow the fucking anchors with two arms lengths out :D !! Are you really going to make it so you dont have to do the traverse at the end? that is where the fun starts :D

Thanks, but Sunshine did all the work, I just helped out. And, yes, we are planning on moving the anchors a bit to the right - just works a bit better with the way people are climbing the route (with the big heel hook/leg cam thing at the top and the rock up there. Should have new anchors within a week or two, just need to get back up there. Going to try to re-bolt too many puppies as well.

Good work on the anchor replacement yall, it is appreciated.

here's my .02$ on loose bolts. I would say if you aren't fluent in bolt placement/hardware identification, then don't touch it. report it to someone who knows their stuff and let them deal with it.

Bolts costs more than .02$. I too have found it much easier and cheaper if you report it to someone else and let them deal with it.

Hey, you know what the white stuff is in bat shit?

Why don't you hang out with somebody that knows their stuff and learn from them. Then, you won't always be deffering a job to someone else when you could be quite capable of doing it yourself. Buying a wrench and attempting to tighten a loose bolt/hanger doesn't require a whole lot of skill.

Good point Toad.
