I am tempted to GU stance retro Hook and Drill after hearing about one of the existing bolt placements. this needs a little investigating before an innocent climber beyers the farm. Then rename it. Are you in F4?

Certainly he managed to establish some crappy FAs, so probably just a moron with a rope and bolting gear. Before it disappears, I want to take a look at an original bolt placement on it.

 ;D ;D

did you see my rap anchors to the side?

Mr Mud replaced a few key ones....Brad gets up to one of the replaced ones (mind you with his own HW & Not ASCA....."Damn you Strum!!"

I think the bolt didn't go in flush so it looked a little haggard.

Then there's the original bolts. The one next or on the huge load stone....look under it...not much there due to some cratering. I'm sure it's good.

I have on of the old ones in my garage....

Hey Clink, next weekend works for me.

I say the additional bolts are painted red. If folks don't like them they can skip them.

We should look at other routes.

F4, I was thinking Nutcracker should get bolted so everyone could have an option of quickdraws instead of a cumbersome rack. GU of course but we could hang on solid nuts and cams to place bolts. Might be some back strain involved from reaching to the side in order not to break the rule "no bolts within 12 inches of a crack".

Come on Clink....there is so much in the Pinns to improve!

The Balconies is ripe for improvement (except Peregrine).
