Bad Bolt on touchstone anchors P1

The main bolt on the anchors for P1 of touchstone is in really bad shape, its bent significantly and pointing downward, it is also coming out of the sleeve with about an inch of wiggle room on the hanger. The other two pitons for the anchor are in place nicely but the bolt warrants replacement/fixing.

For now all parties will need to use the pins. I will get to that when I can, bad bolts never rest. But I gotta work .

simple solution....skip it...it's an easy aid climb and you can link 1&2 fast and easy with little rope mgmt...it would be a good lesson
