Re-engineer Mammary Pump?

[JC w KC redux]

No JC, that is a pic of a child whose parent bought the Turbo Mammary Pump. This product has many disclaimers. Shit happens was only one of them.
 

I could have lived my entire life without knowing that information.
I guess I'm out when it comes to cultural attache for all things bred or fed

Bred or fed things aren't "cultural" in the first place. So your position is safe and sound.

This thread brings up an important question. Is it acceptable to move bolts when routes have changed? Which is a standard problem on harder routes at Pinnacles. Not sure how  I feel about Mammary pump. It's fun, but I only climb it when I know I won't fall. I like having a few of those kind of routes in my bear gulch circuit. A bolt relocation would definitely change the route.

I'm not sure how I feel about relocating bolts on Mammary Pump, either, but agree that a conversation with Chris and Paul would be a good starting point. I've climbed the line more than a few times.   I agree that the first bolt is high and especially that the third bolt doesn't make sense for the current sequence... I have often ignored the 3rd bolt to get through the crux moves.

Runout,  here is the final damning proof that the third bolt is in the WRONG place now. Talk to the FAers and move it. The gavel
er Gavin has spoken.

Both them are on fb. I'll message them this link.

Nothing moves without talking to them.

 Except some of the key holds on the route they established.

Closing the loop on this. I have come to realize that removal of 3/8" modern bolts is waaaay more involved that I realized (not some hammer/tuning fork tap-tap-tap). If someone else is motivated to talk w/ 1st ascent crew and move these bolts, bravo.

(It looks like quite a bit less effort to just hit the finger board for a few weeks and run it out and skip the 3rd bolt.)

Now that's one of the funniest comments I've seen on a forum in a long time

more devious solution.....climb Lost Horizons around the corner...rap the Mammary and place an extended long draw down to where you want to clip from the bolt above. Maybe tape in place.

Then lead the route and clip the extended draw and be protected while you climb past the 3rd bolt.

cool route, cool position....PITA moves.

Next you'll suggest a perma-draw

Na, that would look ugly.
