Eeek, I wonder who got the jolt when this thing snapped? The anchor on top of the Chocolate Block as we found it. Kong-Bonatti aluminum hangers, one that's missing the important part (no oxidation, just a clean snap), and the other in full spin mode. There are now a 1/2" Fixe double-ring anchor and a 3/8" hanger/malion (but a chain piece will be there soon enough).

Chris Wing just getting to the easier angle section on top. (Yes, it really is that high up. A nice, long, fun route.)
