Maybe if Hemisphere gets new gear more people would appreciate it, its a great route. I think the Mantel Route should get retro bolted too, it would never be mixed if it were put up in this age

It's on my backburner to rebolt Hemisfear, Mantle Rt, and Hard Left. If anti gets it done that's cool too, I don't have any weekdays left to take. It would take poor climbing weather and boredom to get me motivated.
I would not change Mantle Route though. It's pretty cool as a mixed line.
There has to be some "adventure" routes out there, right?

JR....If you know someone who has acess to Liberty Mountain wholesale, you can get Faders hangers for .89c....and actually the normal price is not that bad..we use them all over zion and work great..and paint holds up on them very well, 10mm is for a Rawl/powers 1/2in bolt

so, I really don't mean to sound like a salesman, and I am certainly not trying to hijack the thread, but I am also a Liberty Mountain distributor and would be happy to put an order in for anyone. One thought on the Faders hangers though is that they do not have the dimples on the back (like the Fixe ones do) to mitigate agaisnt spinning. It is my experience from bolting routes that the dimples do actually 'bite' down into the rock, so I would suggest that they do indeed help fight spinning.

John Haight can be reached at his shop at 606 784 1818... he's closed sundays and mondays.

Anticlmber hey i can donate 20 fixe hangers i have plenty here at home about 300 in all i have donated some quicklinks and drill bits to team suck before but i wont be down that way for awhile, where you located?
