Comments: These bolts and especially the anchor are also in need of replacement. Last time I did it the tat at the anchor was tight to the old bolt which was moving 1/4" up and down in the hole and slack to the bomber drilled angle. Sketch.

Comments: First bolt needs to be moved 6" to the right for sure.

Comments: This variation is great! Could maybe use a bolt to ease the runout on the traverse?

Comments: The tree is going to die. What will we do? I vote that a chain ladder is installed from the first bolt!

Comments: Lots of new bolts have been popping up lately, most recently on the left-most route at The Pumphouse. The bolts being used are total crap, hardware store Redheads (hanger is on a tiny grade 3, 5/16" stud), meanwhile the rest of the route is bomber Rawls. If you're gonna place a bolt, spend the money and order bomber ones from a reputable source, not Home Depot. As is stands now, all the Redheads should be replaced with something that is trustworthy.

Comments: Theft of lowering anchors is getting to be quite an annoying issue at East Animas. With so many accidents lately from worn biners, it makes sense to have some steel up there. When people steal biners from an anchor designed to have leaver biners, it ends up useless for lowering. Would any of the local shops be willing to donate some Fixe sport anchors to some of the popular sport routes? Some candidates would be the anchors on the Sandman Wall and Chingadero.

Comments: Just want to reiterate that the crux block is SUPER LOOSE! I was able to significantly flex it with a cam or a hand. Seems like you could send the entire route with a prybar. PILE! AVOID!

Comments: This can be done with a single rack from #0.3 to #3 Camalot. Two yellow Alien-size pieces are nice down low, and an extra 0.75 is nice, since you use one in the first crack right off the belay.

Comments: This pitch could really use its own anchor at the slab where Marcus added a bolt for the variation. Such a drag to have to TR the route to clean it.... It's a SPORT CLIMB!!!!!!

Comments: Yeah, I figured that the same douche that's been stealing from Lemon stole my stuff.... You try to do something nice like spend hundreds of dollars and hours developing new areas for people to climb and they repay you by ripping off your shit....

Comments: To whomever decided to take my draws and anchor biners from the Master's Wall, that was stealing, not recovering booty. I would really like them back, 12 biners and 5 dogbones is not cheap. You can send them via us mail to PO Box 785, Silverton, CO, 81433. Thanks.
