Description
Protection
5 bolts, chains atop.
A note about the glue-in bolts from ASCA Executive Director, Greg Barnes, who installed them in 2001:
"They wiggled since day 1 - the early Tortugas had radial ribs but nothing vertical. To avoid wiggling the rock had to be notched (we didn't know that).
There was lots of discussion and also testing early on, even freely rotating Tortugas were full strength."
