#1 shows the simple set-up that is bomber and easily replaced without removing the bolt. <br> <br> #2 shows the problem. Sure a single rap hanger is cheaper, but what about the future? Removing bolts weakens them. I've broken several unscrewing them. <br> <br> #3 how anyone can fix a worn rap hanger. The fatter, stronger, quick links in #1 are a tight fit.

Winch Hooks from Home Depot installed on Golden Cliffs. See my comment below for details of what to buy if you want to help solve the problem of worn anchors. The quick links and hooks can go on Fixe rings too. Just clip in and lower. Much thicker than "fixed" carabiners and easy to replace.
Signs of spring showing up.
A lot of new routes have gone in since 1992. Green x means bolts that are new since then, on just the routes shown.
