Dreamy Chris figuring out Caliente


Description 

Thin face climbing that goes on and on with the exception of one little ledge with thin holds that make getting on it then moving right on it a bit awkward.


Location 

Just left of Left Y Line. Starts up a section with some finger locks then continues straight up until you are under the right side of the roof.


Protection 

bolts

Hey Eric ,
I wanted to say this is a beautiful line!! I do have a question though regaurding bolting. I know that sometimes bolts can have a tendancy to get old but since this is a new route I have to ask. Should one the anchor bolts be moving under weight?

You have seen me I'm a big guy but by far not the biggest. I noticed when I put pressure on the anchors however the right side bolt at the rap rings seemed to wiggle some AND I"m positive you know how to correctly bolt.
I'm just new to this and was wondering if its the rock quality up there at the top because of the limestone more prone to wear and tear?

Derek ,

Was the bolt itself moving or was the hanger just loose.

Cranking down the nut would probably tighten the bolt up inside the hole again if the bolts loose.

We used the best pewter bolts money could but at the Mustang so they should hold body weight for a few more years.

We'll I"m almost 100% positive it was the Bolt itself Jimbo. I have a nut tool and the top of it serves as a bolt tightener for hangers.(like most) I tried the bolt hanger nut it seemed tight, the bolt itself though seemed to flex under weight. The rock up there is really questionable I know, I still had no choice and went down on the bolts. But maybe whoever goes up next could maybe take a look.
