5th bolt snapped on us when my climber was weighting it. This is the bottom half we found on the ground after.

The traverse under the large roof on "The Power of the Schwartz." A double sling would've been useful at the bolt where the traverse starts and maybe a single below that.

[Hide Comment] I kept having to tug my harness up near the top due to the rope drag. I wish I'd have brought longer slings. Mar 30, 2008
