Most of the bolts look like this with mud constantly eroding away, however the anchors seem modern and relatively safe

The Titan from the summit of King Fisher.

Low angle summit shot of Colby Wayment and Eric Zschiesche atop The Titan on a warm June day of 2013. Sans humans and gear,... with less atmospheric blue,... Mars? Classic formation,... though,... Zschiesche taxed with entertaining techniques ( aiding and jugging ) long rusty,.... was almost tempted to forego the last pitch and rappel. Clouds of consternation waned,... and the Sun baked summit felt the shadowed presence of members of the Tribe Primate....

Spud leading the 8th Pitch.

Looking down from near the top.

Colin at the second belay station. Might want that belay seat right here!

Tony heading for the top

Looking down from top of pitch 7 (Ted belaying at the Duck, the Finger at top).

Rick Winters, Fisher Towers veteran (retired), jumaring pitch 7.

Ted heading up the first pitch on the Finger.

Anchors on pitch 8. There was a new bolt added outside the picture too.

Ted starting pitch 4 (Cottontail Tower in the distance).

Sweet Autumn day in 2013,... to be on the summit of the Titan. Eric Schildroth, Garrett Kemper and Eric Zschiesche,... present, and accounted for....

2nd pitch on the Finger of Fate route. Zschiesche free climbing this sweet pitch. Clean gear placements are more than adequate for this fine route.

The wee overhang. No pitons was placed on this ascent of the Titan.Just Stoppers and Cams were used.

The Titan at 5:30 A.M.

Bo on the summit of the Titan after one day solo!

2 actual Gaia tracks of the approach. Took me 1:20 with the track and a heavy (solo in a day) load. Blue line is more accurate, you don't go up, over, and behind The Oracle haha.
