Bronson getting psyched for the crux!

Moving through the crux.
Stacking 2 tuning forks to remove the long (1.5") 1/4" bolt. Most 1/4" bolts are shorter (1-1.25") so you only need one tuning fork.

Long 1/4" bolt - original - and Fixe single ring hanger from the "modern" anchor. To remove the spinner bolt, I had to exert a lot of outward pressure, and the bolt core went flying. I searched for it but didn't find it.
Newly replaced anchor, the right bolt is where the 1/4" bolt was, the left is newly drilled. The "modern" anchor position is obvious from the wear of the ring on the rock.
Anchor after "modern" (partially chopped) anchor removed and holes patched.
Anchor before working on replacement, note the bolt hole left of the right bolt.
