A day's work with a hand drill and a very patient partner! The old bolts from Spare Rib's first 3 pitches.

Spare Rib on the left with MC at the top of pitch 3. <br> Crimson Conga line on the right.
When rebolting with George Urioste previously, he gave me permission to use my judgement with removing a bolt here or there if it wasn't needed. This is the original bolt on the first pitch of Spare Rib, and as you can see, modern smaller cams protect this just fine (any brand would work). We removed this bolt.
