Wind Tower middle ledge near 'Left Out' after the trundle/sweeping.

Bolts from Quadrille and Toys for Tots. The Toys lead bolt came out with maybe a couple hundred pounds of axial force. The second lead bolt was so bent and abused that I could only funk on it and it broke.

The DragonCam that had been stuck for a while at the lip on the final pitch of Vertigo.<br>
Still good. Put it on your Indian Creek rack.

Doodad tools. Latest improvement to the spinner tool: use a 1/4" steel rivet for the stop pin. A piece of bicycle tube keeps it in place if you need to reverse the drill off the stud (the previous pin could go flying.)

Improved P3 anchor - Removed a huge pile of wedged tat (had to use a funkness device to get each piece out of the crack.) Replaced it with a climbing rope inside a 1" tubular webbing sheath tied in two loops. The first loop has its own forged ring and is tied with a water knot. The tails of that loop go around again with another forged ring and end in a double fisherman's knot. The webbing should protect from UV for a long while and keep more tat from appearing.

New anchor for Atom Smasher.

New anchor at the summit of Point Break that replaces the dead tree. Rappel either direction - down the route or down to the base of Gambit where the trail is nicely maintained.

Replaced first bolt on P2. Plan to get the second some time soon.

Toproping thru single-ring hangers is more likely to wear them unevenly
