[Hide Comment] 2 bolts are loose, rusted, and spinning. Would probably be fine to fall on, but I wouldn't wanna test it. Fun route though! Mar 17, 2019

[Hide Comment] New stainless steel glue in bolts except for one exceptional 304 SS 38" wedge bolt that I left in because it was fine and I needed the bolts to replace the more dubious hardware at the crag. Anchors are new Stainless steel chains and glue ins. Sep 22, 2022
