| The top anchors to this climb and the others on Newt Wall are intact, both are two bolts with hangers. They are a little close to the edge.Bring a daisy chain to be safe when setting a top rope. The lead bolts for The New-tist Colony are hangerless but not chopped. |

| The longest lead at Wagon Caves. The bolts were put back in in 2004. Let's hope they stay there. All three routes on this rock are a lot of fun. The anchors were placed so close to the edge to deter non-climbers from tampering with them. Use caution, and it is no big deal.
Note: I knocked the fingernail clean off my finger while hammering in the anchors.
I had one eye on the void and one eye on the rock, trying to find a solid place to put in a bolt... bam bam bam smush. OUCH. |

| Second bolt was completely loose .. Tightened it best I could with my hands but it certainly needs fixing - rest were good. |
