Boise Area - Report Bad Bolts Here!

Calling all Boise climbers:

Please post routes that have unsafe hardware needing to be replaced in the Boise area. Ideally, include a link to the route, the number of bad bolts, the problem with the hardware, and photos if possible. If you document the hardware issues, we can prioritize these routes for future maintenance or rebolting.

Sweet work BCA!! You all are doing awesome work rebolting and updating anchors but since you ask for specific routes...I remember thinking a long time ago that the crunchy frogs last bolt before the anchors was pretty sketch looking. Haven't done the route in a while tho so not sure if its been updated.

I mostly want to talk about some MAJOR tom-foolery I ran into at the mid cliffs recently however. Someone put up a 10a sport and 5.8 trad (they labeled the grades at the base of the climbs) about 20' right of The Spear.

On the 10a, they placed a bolt below the top crux headwall which has a prominent flake right in front of your face that needs to be used. This flake is quite sketch looking, with a hollow top, crack midway through it and a crack at the base of the flake. IMO, its not at all a safe feature to climb.

If thats not bad enough....just look over 5' to the right at the 5.8, this same person (presumably) put a fat bolt through the top of a flake/protruding rock thing as I'm sure they intended that feature to have gear on the underside of it (you wouldnt be able to see the bolt from the underside when on lead).

Wish I grabbed some photos, and don't mean to taddy tell but man its some shotty work, on both routes! Thanks again, love me some cliffs!  

Please include links to the routes you are referring to!

the shotty work routes I speak of aren't in the book. This visionary acted on their own accord (and hasn't put them up on the Projects). Best description I can give is 20-30' right of the The Spear. The sport route is between two columns to a light colored steep headwall at the top and the trad route is in kind of a left facing dihedral just to the right of the 10a. You cant miss em.
