Anchors on H&L Dome?
« on: December 10, 2005, 08:48:38 PM »
If I get to the top, am I going to find decent rap anchors? I haven't been there in so long I can't remember what the descent is like. I last climbed it in 1974 so my memory of it is kind of fuzzy.



Thanks.

Today is your lucky day. I was just up there today and there is one new bolt and new chains.



PS- Bring the zoom lens. The condors are hanging out ontop of Longs Folly.

Correction. The belay anchors on Tuff dome have a new bolt.





H&L has all new bolts for the regular route. FOP has been busy over the years upgrading the bolts. Most belay anchors are in good condition.

I was going to try and do Feather Canyon on H&L. If I remember correctly, it ends on the second summit?



Thanks for the info on Tuff, that was another one on my to do list so the beta is appreciated.

That was me above, forgot to log in. It has just been so long I don't need any surprises up there. :)



Thanks for the tip on the raptors. I think I can lug a mini-tripod and my 1000mm up there without too much trouble.
