Lost Arrow Spire Rebolting

Leave Less Trace. Spire tip is way cleaner now. Thank you to the team that worked so hard to make this happen! |

Cool video, really interested to see the whole process and thinking. My uninformed question is why remove all of those wedge studs that looked good? Seems like they pulled easily (not sure why), but was there anything indicating that they needed removal? Seems like adding hangers would be the easiest option instead of replacing with glue-ins. |

Big Red wrote: I don't know. Personally I would have left one of the oldest for pure historical reasons. |

Consistent hardware at all anchor locations. I sorta get the affinity for an old Leeper for history but I long got over that. After seeing a few in the wild they became fixed trash to me for the most part. |

Thanks for the video! Can't wait to watch this after work. |
