What routes can you think of with fucked up bolt placements?

Ro Shampoo: A bolt one draw length from the anchors. Very pussy.

Kampsite aka Legbreaker: You get to a nice stance and then you do some silly slab move to hang the draw.

Too many puppies: The last bolt would be a 100 times easier to clip if it was on the other side the arete.

Jump for joy has a bolt that is way out in right field unless you ignore the jugs and follow up the little edges making it a hard 9

Wild Gift-2nd clip
I have trouble finding the first bolt on Infectious too.
Unnamed route left of Skin Flute-Miss a clip and almost die.

i think it is the 6th bolt on bare metal teen. also bolt on thirsting skull in the middle of hard move. at least these are hard for me!

"Paratrooper" at Dawson Bluffs has a zig zag all the way to the top.

"Tips and Toes" (5.12) at Dawson Bluffs, man this is a fine as finger crack that looks like something from out west. Some asshole came along and put in 2 sets of top rope anchors (why, no one knows) and 2 bolts (even harder for us to beleive).

"Procrastination" at Jackson Falls has too short of TR chains. It is rated a 5.7, that is if your over 6 foot tall and can reach the chains from the last hold.

"Cheerio Bowl" at Jackson Falls is a rope drag heaven. Alot of people skip the bolt up and right of the actual bowl.



I'm trying to think of some others... I can think of one route where I (5'8") can stand on the ground and clip the first bolt. Kind of pointless.[/b]

Apparently you haven't been on Kampsight recently, JR.

There are alot of crags across the country that could learn a thing or two about bolting from the RRG. There are some exceptions, of course, but most of the routes are quite well done.

SCIN, what about Skin Flute? Now that the clipping old broke off, That fifth clip can be bad.

1. Henry would be a trade route if not for the botched bolting.
2. Donita DeLores, need I say more.
3. Hanging the crux draw on Dave the Dude is the crux.
4. Martin Rides Again has a goofy clip.

I have to agree with Legion. Some Of the anchor bolts at X rock,Colorado were just one manky looking thing that looked like something you hang a lamp from.
