New bolts in J Tree - Trashcan Rock

Our world degrades.

It’s a whole new world at the crags

I've never put a bolt in, but that looks like a lot of metal sticking out, doesn't it???

Why would you go to the effort of drilling a hole and then only use 1/2 of the bolt?

Yeah, and it looks like they wailed on 'em pretty hard with the hammer too. I wonder how long those bolts are. They might no be in very deep. And both bolts are f'd up the same way? Weird.

BTW- You can tell how long a bolt is by looking at the letter code on the point.  Then subtract the amount of bolt that is sticking out of the rock to find how deep the bolt is in the rock.

I took a look above Karpkwitz and found two epoxied over holes. They were way back from the route and very close together (maybe an inch apart?). Looked more like someone was trying out a new drill than putting up an anchor for Karpkwitz. Vandalism, basically... seems to me. 

Those bolts seem kinda trivial now.

^^^ Exactly my thoughts.

Well, it is a good thing they have not seen, Run For Your Life. hahaha.

soon we will all care about bullshit bolts again!

Climbing itself is quite trivial and always has been, nothing new really.
