SAS - Squamish Re-bolting Phase 3

[gearheart]

The Squamish Access Society has completed Phase 3 of our re-bolting initiative.

Phase 3 included work at the Smoke Bluffs including bolt and/or anchor replacement on Supervalue 10c, Geritol 10c and House Music 10c, Digital Dexterity 12c and 4 routes at Burgers & Fries (11a, 11a, 11c, 10a).

At Murrin at Nightmare anchor bolts and chains were replaced on Big Daddy 12b and anchor bolts, chains and protection bolts were replaced on And Metal for All 11d.

Much work was completed at Chek including the completion of the perma-draw project with 100 further perma-draws being placed on toxic lichen, circus and big show walls. The perma-draw work at these walls is now basically completed. At the Forgotten Wall bolts were replaced on Creepy Crawlers 11a, Creeping Right 10d, The Voodoo You Do 10b, Rug Munchers 11d and Junkyard Patio 11a.

At Toxic Lichen, Olympic Bid 11d, Ill Communication 13a and the Mutation 11c all received new anchors. At the Circus random bolts were replaced on The Fleeing Heifer 12c, Bottom Feeder 12d, The Wayward Bovine 12b and Neutered Bovine 11c.

The Daily Planet 12b received new anchors on every pitch above p. 1 and all protection bolts on p. 5 were replaced.
