It has been said that the anchors on Bullwinkle Tower are down to one sketchy bolt, if one was to replace the anchors, what type of anchors would be the preferred set up? Chains? Rap rings? Glue ins?
William, I wouldn't have known about this route unless you posted about it. Although it may not appear to be a stellar climb, the panoramic view seems (from the pics) like it'd be worth climbing for. If you rebolt the anchor, please post it. I'll be heading out that way in May, hopefully. It'd be nice to know the rap anchors are good and to not have to leave gear behind.
It's pretty ridiculous to suggest that easier climbs don't deserve decent anchors. "Oh, you only climb only 5.6? You deserve a sketchy rappel!"
As regards the OP's question, I suggest asking Sam Lightner. As I understand it, he has replaced hundreds of anchors in the Moab area and should be familiar with bolting regulations in Arches National Park as well as what the best setup would be. You can probably get a hold of him one way or another through the contact page at the Friends of Indian Creek website.
