| Someone had asked me today why the top of the 1st pitch had only 1 quiklink and chain. It was obvious that someone had removed one of the pair.This is not only stealing from the first ascentist, but is more of a safety hazard to a beginner climber that may think its ok to lower from the remaining chain. The 1st pitch anchors now only have Metolius Rap Anchors! Thanks to the person who decided to modify my anchors!!! |

| Just wanted to add to the previous comment I posted. When Friends and I put up climbs, we know as the first ascentionists that all the hardware used on these climbs become the climbing communities property when were done. I was informed that their are certain people that will strip hareware off climbs for their own use at times. I sure hope that this doesn't become a regular occurrence. One more thing, and I'll be done. Just wanted to say "Thank You" to the folks that keep the" Tucson Climbers website" up and running, I feel it is a great asset to any climbing community to have an invaluable source of information! |

| Fun climb. PG 13 to first bolt unless you place a piece of gear. Added Mussy hooks to anchors at top of first pitch. |

| @Myk, there is a bolt left of the crack, missing a hanger |

| Not only is the first bolt missing a hanger, but I think it has been chopped, so pretty spicy getting to new first bolt without a piece in. |

| The bolt is still there, just missing its hanger. Obviously the start protects well with gear, however since the bolt it already there it may as well have a hanger on it as you should have either the hanger-less bolt or a piece of gear clipped as the crack and 1st bulge are the crux. Also the little horn-thing you use to surmount the bulge directly above the crack snapped in my hand and is wiggling. I forgot to try and kick it off on my way down but it made an audible snap and is now loose. Be Safe, Have Fun! |
