I'll be out briefly on Thursday or Friday - West Side - with the grandson of Bill (Bad Bolts) Hunt. I plan to touch some very familiar bases with him.

The excuse for almost all of the "season" was rain. Now that it isn't raining my mind goes to higher elevations...

WTF? Are folks out climbing?

Is the snow melting up there?

Will Mr. Mud find his right footed shoes?

Kat and I spent the day at Peace of Heaven on Wednesday.
The flies were awful.
The climb wasn't too bad and now it is completely rebolted.
Both of the lead bolts were in some nasty, crumbly recesses that made it especially difficult to get the tuning fork under the star dryvin nails. I had to do significant amounts of carving down and around both bolt locations to get the old stuff out, create proper surfaces for the replacements and allow the draws to hang correctly. The nail on the first lead bolt was under-driven but the hanger was tight and both nails were unusually difficult to extract (surprising given the lousy rock quality). It was a similar situation on the summit with the old, single-bolt anchor. I could write a book about all the things I have learned rebolting.
Here is a composite of photos showing in clockwise order the old first bolt (straight on), from the side (to show the protruding nail), the replacement bolt and the replacement anchor with chains. The second replacement lead bolt is not shown but is every bit as pretty as the first.

Thanks. It took all day.

Temps weren't bad (perfect for flies) - mid 70's Wednesday and mid 80's Thursday and yesterday.
Nice and cool at night. A bit noisy in camp Wednesday night but quiet Thursday.
Nice breezes both day and night.
