Indy's guide has the belay/rappel anchors on Hard Up Direct listed as older 1/4 inch bolts. Does anyone have current info regarding their condition, or if they've been replaced?

Thanks!

Ask John Kelbel. He knows Maryland Heights better than anyone.

Thanks Taylor, I sent him a PM. Does anyone know what the descent options are? Walk-off? We could use gear anchors on the ascent, but the various route descriptions are inconsistent.

I talked to a friend that has climbed it within the last six months. He told me the anchors are really good and he just rapped the route for the descent. Alternatively, there is a rap route from the top of the A Climb route. It's two rappels to the ground, although the lower rappel tree looks more and more dead each time I see it.
