The DragonCam that had been stuck for a while at the lip on the final pitch of Vertigo.<br>
Still good. Put it on your Indian Creek rack.

Improved P3 anchor - Removed a huge pile of wedged tat (had to use a funkness device to get each piece out of the crack.) Replaced it with a climbing rope inside a 1" tubular webbing sheath tied in two loops. The first loop has its own forged ring and is tied with a water knot. The tails of that loop go around again with another forged ring and end in a double fisherman's knot. The webbing should protect from UV for a long while and keep more tat from appearing.

New 1/2" SS anchors for Sunrider

Doodad tools. Latest improvement to the spinner tool: use a 1/4" steel rivet for the stop pin. A piece of bicycle tube keeps it in place if you need to reverse the drill off the stud (the previous pin could go flying.)

New anchor for Atom Smasher.

Rusty 3/8" anchors removed from Sunrider

Pin from Quadrille. Note where it was in contact with the rock...

Hardware removed from 'Laughing at the Moon', replaced with 1/2" stainless.

Old Metolius design from the '80s and an 8mm allen head drop-in bolt.

Apple Strudel upgrade

Apple Strudel before - welded cold shuts, carbon steel bolts, permanent cordelette.

Replaced first bolt on P2. Plan to get the second some time soon.

C'est la Vie top anchor before

Tree atop P2 of Point Break. I cut off 7 ratty slings.

C'est la Vie top anchor after upgrade

New anchor at the summit of Point Break that replaces the dead tree. Rappel either direction - down the route or down to the base of Gambit where the trail is nicely maintained.

#3 that had been stuck on P2 of Gambit for several years. Took some hard persuasion to remove it.

Bolts from Quadrille and Toys for Tots. The Toys lead bolt came out with maybe a couple hundred pounds of axial force. The second lead bolt was so bent and abused that I could only funk on it and it broke.

Wind Tower middle ledge near 'Left Out' after the trundle/sweeping.

1st lead bolt from P1 of C'est la Vie. Replaced 1/25/2015 by a 1/2" SS bolt in the same hole.
