Warning: ROCKFALL Rumney Dolt/Jolt is UNSAFE to climb on!

Warning: ROCKFALL
Dolt/Jolt area is an UNSAFE to climb!
A climber was at the Hinterlands on 5/13/13 and has indicated to the RCA that the climb Jolt lost its anchor unit, and that the upper rock corner has fallen to the ground. It is believed that this happened over the weekend with the heavy rains. The tree and roots are still up there. It is currently not a solid area, and should be avoided until further notice as there is potential for further rockfall. Please share this notice. More information to follow.

Thank you!

Thanks for the info. Thats too bad I was planning on getting on thoae in the next few weeks!

Do the pair of Underdog and Sweet Polly Purebred at main Cliff instead. They do not have the exposure of Jolt/Dolt but the moves are every bit as good, if not better. And they have solid anchors.

so, who had the distinction of having the LAST ASCENT?

Shit... just a matter of time with that feature! Hope everyone was okay.

In going to walk up tomorrow (Thursday) and have a looks bout possibly to climb and clean away the remaining debris and will report back with an update.

Cool man... take some photos for us!

Probably better to rap in with a big bar, Ryan.

That's a good plan. Sounds like the tree might still be there, but Ill have to take a closer look, and I'll take some photos

When in doubt rip it out!!! LOL

Dang, Jolt is one of the best 10s at Rumney!

So have anyone swung by this week? How does it look? I heard that it was the Jolt anchors and that side of the rock being gone, not the Dolt side.

I may have been the last one on the Jolt anchors, hanging on them last Sun afternoon. Then it looked fine, but little did I know..

Sorry my plans to walk up the other day got thwarted. Now there's the normal weekend crowds so perhaps Monday I will take a look.

Thank you!

Found the Jolt anchors 60-70' downhill in the woods:

Well THERE'S your problem!

dang glad I wasnt lowering on it at the time

Created this before and after pic:

I was at Hinterlands on Giant Man Friday and some people were on Jolt AND Dolt!! I told them about the rockfall and they didnt seem to care-Crazy! I bet there is a ton of loose rocks up there.
