Hello im a fellow climber that is responsible for most of the routes and bolting on sunshine buttress in new river gorge.If you are familiar with the routes here,unbroken chain,original crankster,ritualdehabitual I would be curious for any feedback on these or more importantly their recent condition.I have been unable to go there for over 10 years now.The original bolts were upgraded to glue in type around that time.If there are any issues,which there should not be,plz note.Hope to get down again soon myself the new is the place for sure.

Unbroken chain was upgraded with glue-ins in the past year. The route is still 12a and still makes most people pucker up. It's a great route. Can't speak on the other routes there though. I know that there have been two new first ascents there in the past year or so as well. One to the left of unbroken, (can't really remember if this was actually bolted and done), and then one around the corner to the right, (5.13a trad line).

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
