The bird's nest is back.

 

Some dudes climbed it leaving a locker atop the bolt ladder and two fixed nuts higher up the route.

 

The first nut (#10 Smiley or so) is just above the horn / birds nest and wiggles around. I have no idea how it got in there, as I wrestled with it for a good ten minutes trying different orientations and positions to get it out. Kudos to anyone who can get this one out.

 

The second nut (small-medium) is in the right of the twin cracks just below the final mantle. It looks pretty welded in there. I tried smacking on it with a nut tool hammered by a cam and by funking it upwards, though I just had my hand and not a hammer for greater leverage. I plan on bringing a hammer the next time I'm at Index (in a week or two) to clean this litter. If anyone else wants to do it, please do.

Is it me, or am I the only one who notices that Gary never gets any booty?

[DirtyHarry]

Too busy playing with his camera.

He even tried funking.

It's all the wiggling and smacking of nuts. I think it's a little too much. Sometimes you need a delicate hand to work these things out.

Or a pencil.
