Wigwam Dome bolts?
|
|
Hey all, I was perusing the wigwam dome listing and all the climbs sound like they desperately needed new bolts for anchors and the like. Anyone have any info on whether that's still the case? |
|
|
Which routes? I’ve climbed a few up there and don’t remember anything particularly scary. |
|
|
Also curious to hear a first hand account of which bolts are in need of replacement. Lost creek wilderness is tricky. Because Wigwam is in forest service wilderness area, fixed hardware replacement must be done without the use of power tools to be legal. |

"On The Edge" could use some. |

T Dwrote: I have loads of bolts from ASCA specifically for On the Edge and the last pitch of El Supremo. I planned to replace those routes years ago but grad school and family greatly reduced my free time for such a project. If anyone wants these bolts let me know! The second and third pitches of Warpath are also in need of replacement. |

It will be an endeavor to get these replaced - hand drilling only as Andrew mentioned above. |

All of the bolts on El Supremo, except for the final pitch, are newly replaced. Replacing the bolts on the final pitch would certainly resurrect one of the best slab/face routes in the front range. The bolts on Warpath’s 2nd pitch are definitely sphincter tightening. 3rd pitch anchor is a junk show. |

Yay for Monty! |

Did any of the bolts get replaced this season? |
