christophbenells Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I climbed hanging gardens a couple days ago, there is 4 or 5 new bolts, Little climb x jankies. I'm not anti bolt crazy, but why were they placed there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Little climb x jankies. Is this the name of a climb? Where exactly are the new bolts. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
christophbenells Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 The second pitch of hanging gardens is where they are. 5.6 terrain with plenty of cracks, up to the Sesame Street start. They even put one about two feet away from mr potato heads piton anchor. The bolts they used are climb x brand, those ones that aren't uiaa cert.

Lodestone Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Presumably the same person added a bolt to the left variation start to P1 of Hanging Gardens as well as to Giant's Staircase. Both of these bolts were placed near naturally protectable sections of the respective climbs. Same Climb X hangers, same steel studs and the same time-frame. Both of these bolts were removed by a local climber. Of the four new bolts leading up to the base of Sesame Street, I removed the highest one (old hole is puttied up). This one was placed within a yard (horizontally) of a large nut placement that would stop a train. Though I don't agree with any of these bolts being placed on a classic, established line, it didn't seem right to remove them all until getting more feedback. While up there, I replaced the anchor at the base of Sesame Street with a pair of SS Fixe double-ring hangers. The old anchor was looking pretty junky/rusty.

JosephH Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 With regard to righteous indignation over chopping and retro-bolting, this incident would seem a far more appropriate application and one with a ready solution at hand. The fact they'd buy anything from climb-x alone tells you up front they lack the judgment to be bolting at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
