Trad skills? this is a job for Pirate climbing survival school,PCSS : place a bomber unit in the crack, strip the webbing and the hangers for the valley, toss the nuts, their stripped any way, they won’t put holes in your chalk bag. Finish the pitch to the end of your rope establish an anchor and bring your rope gun betty(RGB) up to a master point above your stance. Always look up, don’t mention the studs, if she asks on her way past if you saw the hangerless station shrug and say “should I lead this pitch too?”
In this perfect world the two months in the valley passes without a single hangerless bolt. You and The hangers are back before thanksgiving and the taste of smiegel that you left as a peace offering is still packed into the energy shot bottle pushed over the left stud. (No left turn unstoned, No good Deeds are still unpunished in Frozendale)

OP's post reminds me of Majid on rc.com, who really had a hard-on for accidents. He would often devise a bunch of ludicrous scenarios. But some funny shit happened, including home made video (pre-go pro days) of rapping on 2 core strands with an ATC after angry said it couldn't be done.

I don't see anything good coming out of this thread.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
