Bug Bananas

While this route looks inviting - beware. The flake is quite loose, chossy all around, and the anchors are rickety. The left hanger spins and is drilled amongst a spider's web of cracks and the right bolt has had rock break out from around it. Sad to see such careless bolting - a real waste of some good anchors.

I didn't feel that this was all that badly bolted, but it wasn't the best bolting job, that's for sure. The anchors looked ok to me and I wasn't worried using them.

However, that flake is completely hollow and the whole route relies on it. It will come off one day, and I feel bad for whoever is belaying the person who knocks it off, because that will go badly. Unfortunately, the whole route relies on this flake and wouldn't be anything without it. That said, I thought the route was fun and interesting, with some weird slopey foot holds that make you want to double check before you put your weight on them. Sep 5, 2009

I wonder why they didn't make this line go all the way to the top of the wall... Sep 5, 2009

I thought the route was fun. The bolts looked fairly new so maybe someone replaced them. May 6, 2014

I climbed this route today while wondering around looking for the other routes in the area. The left anchor nut was finger tight, I noticed it spinning as I was clipping the bolt. Tried to tighten it a bit. Fun route if I wasn't thinking about that flake coming off. Jul 13, 2014

I climbed this route yesterday. All of the anchors on the way up seemed fine, but the 2 top anchors are a bit sketchy. The left bolt/nut seemed tight, but the anchor can be spun around on the bolt. The right nut was loose enough that I could tighten it back up with my fingers! I'm going to try and torque them down soon. Apr 21, 2016
