| The left bolt at the anchor flexes visibly under body weight. |

| Both bolts seemed fine though not pointed in the correct direction for the least amount of stress. It was late when I was up there so I didn't fix it but I will next time I climb the route. You can set top rope (or walk off) on this one however I would use caution and anchor in to one chain before trying to set them both up. |

| For as much as you complain about bolts you would think you were a trad climber. |

| For as much as you post right after I do on routes you aren't ticking you'd think you were following me :) There is a difference between posting an observation and complaining, something to keep in mind for the next comment of mine you comment on. Be well brother. |

| Looks like the right anchor bolt is loose. We hand tightened, but if you have a tool with you, bring it. |

| Very fun little route. Good climb for someone just starting to lead as there is a bolt every few feet. Also once you do this you can TR the 5.8 next to it. |

| The anchors and hangers have been pulled from Lords of Karma and Pali Gap due to a report from a climber of loose bolts. Yesterday, I checked all of the anchors, hangers and bolts by shock loading them with a Grigri backup and could find no loose bolts. Some of the hangers and one of the anchors needed routine tightening. I don't think there is anything wrong but shut down the routes and pulled the anchors and hangers |

| Bummer that you shut down the routes. While I agree the rock quality isn't the greatest I doubt the routes were unsafe. That said I appreciate that you are maintaining the crag and watching out for our safely. |

| I climbed this on 9.17.2011 and the bolt were fine. These were the 2 easiest routes on this wall regardless of what the #'s say. I urge you to re-open this route!!! It's FUN!!!!! |
