[Hide Comment] The 4th bolt has a fixed draw that I presume was extended to clear some extremely sharp rock that could cut your rope. My climbing partner fell at that bolt and his subsequent swings in fact did core shot our brand new rope. It cut right through the sheath and partially into the core. I believe the extended draw needs to either be extended down just a few inches more or the razor sharp rock on the bulge needs to be filed down (it even cut my finger when I went up to see what could be done). Hope this helps, be safe! Nov 2, 2024
