Is that the sweet granite in Renton?

 

What's up with the bolt in the bottom left corner? And why do you use those quasi-biner things?

Bolt in the left hand corner has been removed and filled in with epoxy and dust...this is the top of the "first pitch" yellaf.gif

So we did some climbing at Mt Erie today. I lead a pitch that ended up at a ledge with this cool half dead juniper. Instead of tying off the tree I clipped a nice new set of bolts. In my view the bolted station is reducing the impact of humans on this tree.

 

There's such a big deal placed on how bolts screw up the rock, but all things considered these bolts are actually improving the environment.

 

Trees are bad. Instead of bolting, we should kill more trees. Kill!!! Kill!!! madgo_ron.gifwink.gif
