New bolt on Heavens Gate?


Good2Go

Recommended Posts

Rapped down Heavens Gate last Sat and noticed that there were parallel bolts about 3 feet apart at the top of the crux roof at the start of the 2nd pitch. Hard to understand how they would both be needed for protecting that spot. Didn't take a pic unfortunately, but I've climbed the route and rapped down it several times, and don't remember seeing such weirdness before. Anybody have a clue if that's how it's always been or a new bolt was added? I'm not a bolt hater (or chopper), but seems like clipping both bolts would cause drag, and the presence of the 2nd would be confusing for an onsight.

 

Also, thanks to whoever replaced the sketchy anchor bolts on DHLA!
