Turkey Givings
« on: November 25, 2021, 05:28:46 PM »
Where the sun shines 5.7 should get another star, and another bolt, maybe two.

Self-selecting substrate is delightful and deserves another star.

Went over to Chockstone Dome after that. Two comments. It was warm in the sun there. And the two bolts down low for Overboard route, for the 'belay', seem really silly and technically constitute retrobolts, yes? You have to free solo downclimb to get to them, so they should be on the slab not down in the crotch of the formation, one would think.

Found my #2 camalot from circa 1989! No nylon from the 80s, 90s was used today. May have had some suspect slings from 2000s in there. But stuck with the quick draws. Let me know when you're back in town, I'll bring your petzl spirit draws over.

May stop off at the W-side on the way down.

Neither or those routes deserves another star imo and definitely don't need more bolts. According to Charles - all those routes are over-bolted choss piles.

As for Chockstone - if there are bolts to belay from down in the notch between the start boulder and the main formation - they will be removed.
