The Arches Task Force has completed the anchor replacement program we began a year ago. The most heavily used anchors have been changed from tat on questionable bolts and pins to half-inch bolts with painted chain. Many of the anchors have been moved slightly to alleviate the Parks concern over rope grooves. The following areas have seen some change:
Right Chimney on the Penguins
Park Avenue free climbs
Death By Hands on the Organ
The West Face of the Three Gossips
Zenyatta Entrada on Tower of Babel
Virgin Wool on Sheep Rock
Chinese Eyes
Off Balance Rock
Owl Rock
Bullwinkle
Industrial Disease on Devil Dog Spire
I'm guessing this to be around 600 ft of worn out tat.

the spoils of war... the tat taken from the Arches retro bolting project

Ditto that. That is a pile of tat!

Curious how you are painting your chains?

Cheers!

This is a model example of climbers taking responsibility for our actions by working WITH land managers to mitigate a very real visual and environmental impact. Actions speak louder than words. Thanks for your efforts in organizing this, Sam, and all the others that contributed their time, money, expertise, and elbow grease to this project.

Just curious as to the type of half-inch bolts you are using for the replacement (make, length, stainless, etc)? Thanks!!!
