Proof that the crack contracts and expands dependent on temperature!

Here is the ancient, crappy, rusted, bolt at the belay.

Doing laps on Bishop Crack. Notice that you can belay from the ground if you have 2 ropes, and you'll pass the knot when the follower is securely in the wide slot. Having 2 ropes is also nice for a double rope rappel from the top anchor.

Climber on Bishop Crack, as seen from Bishop Offwidth.

Someone put this nice stainless stud in next to the old one. It needs a hanger so if you are headed that way do everyone a favor and put a stainless nut and hanger on it. I can't imagine why the hanger is missing.
