Above Six Pence is this bolted line. Up broken face to the right, clip a bolt and move right through a roof(crux, a medium nut will protect the move to get to the next bolt for the shorter climbers). Climb the fun face above passing several bolts. At the top is a single bolt with chain link on it. We continued to the top, slung a block for the anchor and walked off. Not sure about descending off the single bolt.
This is what we must have climbed...see comment for six pence. I thought it was pretty wild for the grade and considering the rest of the thing was fully bolted for two pitches, felt like a bolted belay would be nice and was somewhat surprised not to find one?, but anybody else feel the same way? Bolts are old, correct?
This does sound like what you climbed, James. Yes, the bolts are older and somewhat rusted. They appear to be about the same age as Steve the Pirate AKA Unknown. A bolted belay at the top would sure be nice. Did 5.8 feel appropriate for the second pitch?
