An okay finish to P-Crack. As the photo indicates, two distinct options exist: from the bolted anchor atop P-Crack, either (a) head up and right, passing a single bolt at a small roof and continue up crack to a 2 bolt rap anchor (painted brown), or (b) head up and left off the P-Crack anchor, following left-trending ramp and eventually trending back to the right to the aforementioned anchor.

The paint residue has left the rock slick.

Does anyone know who added the bolt to Letterman? This section was bolt-free for many years.

The Letterman bolt was added by "Carrot Top". Sorry I can't remember his real name. I think his first name might have been Ian? Kristin Mc. might know who I'm talking about. He was the same guy that got himself stuck in San Luis Creek Downtown during a flood (he was kayaking w/a buddy). Re: the bolt - he said he thought he was putting up a new variation so he added the bolt. Said he bolted it by hand on lead. Obviously, the variation existed many years before the bolt was added. I think it might have arrived sometime around 2003 or 2004.
