O.K. here you go, Medicine Man at the feathers, Vantage is in need of new anchors, the ones on there are poorly done, I have fixed some of the climbs there but someone keeps taking our hardware.

In what way are the Medicine Man anchors bad? If they're still solid, and not suspect - wouldn't replacing them and moving them to a new location be more unsightly? You can clip them from a solid stance, so I guess what I'm asking is what constitutes a bad anchor if it is in good condition?

any route ever bolted by Robin Barley even if it was 5 minutes ago.

Static Point:

 

-Everything on Spencer's Spaceport up to and including American Pie has been restored.

 

-Anchor below crux pitch on online could be upgraded with at least one modern stainless bolt.

 

-Just about every bolt on offline below the second to last pitch. Excess 1/4" bolts left over after original re-bolting could be popped out on the next pitch.

 

-Quicklinks on the hangers at the uppermost set of anchors where Online/Offline meet would eliminate the sling cluster there.

 

-Artie-Rip could be upgraded with modern hardware for the bold mofos.

The anchors are three links of a chain on one side and a hanger on the other with a link, I don't think you need to drill new holes, but the hardware sucks. Its really not safe the way it is. Come climb it and check it out.
