Teale Tower Route 

The belay for the second pitch was junk so I bolted an anchor on the 2nd of July 04. I didn't throw chains or webbing on so if anyone is so inclined, feel free.

Bob, I have no problem with removing the bolts. They were added without contacting the first ascensionist. Do you know who the FA is for the route? There were 3 routes on this rock that were used to teach clean aid climbing techniques in a mountaineering course. This was the convergence point and allowed easy and safe belaying and bailing in bad weather. The location of the anchor makes for a much better belay and allows safe retreat. This is a weak point for changing a route, but I would like to at least try to contact the FA before removing the bolts. Any info on this would be appreciated..Larry.

Excellent Route....could use a few more ascents to make this superb quality.

Probably a two of three or a three of five star route in Yos. An anchor on the ledge would be pretty nice as the next pitch looks like a piece . IMHO putting an anchor on a ledge you can walk around on and retroing a crack are two different things, but whatever.

The second pitch is pretty entertaining, you should try it before assigning "piece" status. As said above, it looks harder than it is and is fun to figure out. The walk-off is easy in climbing shoes. I would like to repeat the request not to add any bolts to this climb (it would indeed be retrobolting, as in adding new bolts after the first ascent). If folks think that the first pitch needs cleaning up to get better, then set up a TR and run some laps. It's a great crack.

They belay for the second pitch was junk? huh? That makes no sense. I had 2 bomber nuts and 2 bomber tricams and had room for more in two seperate crack systems. No reason for bolts. This is the South Platte.

And the second pitch is actually quite fun, the roof looks way improbable from below. Great route.

And you don't need anything bigger than a #3 if you fiddle around and are willing to run it out a bit through the wider bits.
