Suggested Page Improvements to Where Eagles Dare
ANCHOR OF P1: the anchor of P1 has a single cold-shut and a bold stud without hanger. If you read this, consider bringing a hanger and nut and crescent wrench to update the anchor. We slung the bolt with a wire stopper but this did not inspire confidence as the next pitch is run-out 5.8. Folks who are used to climbing well protected sport routes and splitter cracks will probably find this route mentally challenging. Be solid at the grade. Quality rock, good gear if you know how to place it. Take brass nuts for the first pitch and 0 cams for P2. Considering when this route was first done, an impressive lead at the time.
P1 fixed anchor is one cold shut and a bolt stud. If you have a hanger and a nut, it looks like a 3/8 bolt
The note by Doug Haller under the protection can be updated. I added new hardware for P1 anchor today:

This needs to be rated R. Multiple people plus myself agree it's rated R.
Had this been more obvious, I wouldn't have climbed it and taken a serious fall. This needs to be made more obvious for other climbers.
