Climbed this route yesterday. It has been rebolted with new ASCA bolts. However, on the anchors at the top of picthes 2 and 3 one of 2 anchor bolts wiggled (a lot!)by hand. What's really dangerous is that the bolts were left in place and appear bomber because they are brand new. Whoever rebolted this, thanks for your efforts, but please go finish the job correctly.

Michael,

This route was rebolted over a decade ago in 2001 ( Source ), so to say that the job was poorly done would be incorrect. That being said, the route definitely needs those two bolts replaced, and exactly which of the two at each station is indicated in the Bad Bolts In Vegas thread.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
