A recently replaced bolt and hanger from "Middle Earth." Many of the hangers were spinners and the bolts wouldn't tighten down properly. The gnarled head testifies to past attempts to tighten the bolt to no avail. Galvanic corrosion on the hanger.

The new P2 anchor shared by Middle Earth & Pick A Pocket.
This old circa 1990s P2 anchor shared with Tethys is now history. The new P2 anchor has 1/2" bolts and sturdy chains.

Upon reflection, I think this is probably Pocket Change. Middle Earth would be the next route to the left. 5.8+ sounds about right.
