pu Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Looks like the first bolt, number one of two, was removed some time ago on Shrinking Ball Disease in Vantage. Anyone know why or if the remover planned on replacing it? Thanks, Joe Quote
Sol Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 there's only one bolt on it right, at about 25 ft? it's been like that for at least 10 years. it protects, not so adequately, up to that point with slider nuts, rps, and aliens. ive seen a 50+ year old father of 3 hike it on lead. if you dont have the balls to lead it, it is easily top-roped. i don't remember the whole story, but the first ascencionest told me something about Yoder marking where he wanted to put the bolts (and maybe even putting that one bolt in), but getting scooped by someone with a more tradical perspective. it was a while ago but vantage use to be the hotbed of ethical quandaries in washington.

telemarker Posted April 16, 2011 Posted April 16, 2011 I wouldn't scream too loudly if that bolt were replaced... Quote
