What I don't understand is why people were continuing to lower/rappel from the carabiner/quicklinks that had grooves worn more than half way through them when there was a perfectly good rap ring attached that wasn't showing any significant sign of damage.

Anyway, good work Bentley. It looked like those routes were traveled quite frequently and were definitely in need of some anchor replacements.
