Part of a small group of local climbers who routinely replace aging and substandard fixed anchors (bolts) with new, more modern stainless steel bolts and hangers. This increases the over all safety of the anchor while at the same time reducing their visual presence. Most of the hardware is provided by the American Safe Climbing Association.
