route is located on the back side of the tower,to find the start look for property line on the rock,start there continue up the arete rap off top


Protection 

set of quick draws,3 bolts and anchors at top

I think the hangers might have been removed from the bolts. I've only been to Yellow Bluff once, and I'm not sure I was looking at the right route, but there were a few routes on what I imagine is the "tower" that had bolts but no hangers.

They were removed but, are going to be replaced soon.

Are the bolts sound? That is, do I need to bring my own hangars to replace the ones that are missing? Are hangars missing from any of the other routes at this point?
