McGinnis Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 So... who's free to replace some hangers tomorrow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billcoe Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Did anyone know there's a cabbage patch at the top of Broughton? It's been taken care of, the bolts and hangers are gone. From what I can tell it should be an easy patch job. All but one of the sleeves were sunk well into the wall. Rawl bolts all the way up. *I expect some love and hate because of this... If it ends up being a HUGE issue they're easy enough to put back up.* I can't imagine anyone giving the hate. Some dudes obviously stepped on their dicks and you are helping them everyone out. Frankly given the vitriol on this site if nothing else, I'm surprised they lasted that long....., I can think of a couple of much better places for a bolt route. There is an old one at da Butte from the late 50's which could be regenerated if nothing else. BTW, the Cabbage patch you mention has been there since I first went up there in 1967. I was up there last year and the guy is still growing great looking produce. You can drive right up to it on top as it turns out all those farms have roads right up to them.

McGinnis Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I've never hiked to the top but decided to when rapping for these bolts. Ya learn something new everyday. If anyone is free today i'm going to be out at Broughton slinking around on the Bat Wall solo probably until about 5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
