Welcome to the Forum.

I am not sure if there is any space in the MudnCrud Gallery. We may have to spin up another one.

That was exactly the right call too, leaving that old bolt.

^^yeah that thing is super cool. Can anybody make out the letters stamped on it? I didn't notice them until looking at the photo.

Very cool stuff on the Toadstool! Good call on leaving the bolted piton. That seems like the right decision in that situation.

Clint and I were rebolting in the Hanging Valley yesterday.

We put in a 2-bolt anchor on the Wad with quick links and chains. The only bolt on top looked like a very well-placed 3/8" Rawl split shaft. Too bad it was in a very poor location so we took the old Leper hanger off of it.

We replaced the single bolt anchor(3/8" Star Dryvin) on top of Nip and Tuck and added a second bolt with quick links and chains. We replaced the hangerless bolt(1/4" Rawl split shaft) which protects the crux.

We replaced the bolt(3/8" Star Dryvin) on top of the route 'Obvious' on Teeter Tower. We added a new rappel anchor on the east/uphill side of the pinnacle at the base of the balanced ball with quick links and chains for rappel. This looked to be the best place for an anchor especially since the ball looks like it will head west if it goes especially if someone is foolish enough to try to climb all the way to the top.

We replaced the two belay bolts(3/8" Star Dryvins) at the base of The Driver and replaced the anchor bolt(3/8" Star Dryvin) and added a second anchor bolt with quick links and chains for rappel.

All this rebolting going on reminds me of why (unlike David) I didn't put information about the types of bolts that are/were on routes in the 2007 guidebook. It was changing then and is changing even more now (and for the better).

mungeclimber · « **Reply #475 on:** March 11, 2015, 08:42:56 PM »

Nothing wrong with incomplete. I can't think of other guides that ever even tried. And pinnacles is a place where that attempt was very helpful.

JC w KC redux · « **Reply #476 on:** March 11, 2015, 09:00:04 PM »

I'll update the master list tomorrow Bruce.
Sounds like much of The Hanging Valley is "Cook proof".
Too bad we can't get Billy Goats to eat all the PO.
You guys are doing great things.

I agree completely (no criticism of David intended at all). It was just that the rebolting efforts were really picking up by the time I got going and I felt like any list made then would quickly become obsolete.
