draw, bolt, and hanger... that's all?
I'd be impressed if there was a nice big block attatched.

Uh, so that might be the most massive thread drift EVER.
Start by talking about the most fun times at a crag and finish with a hyper-detailed discussion of bolts, complete with flame-off?
Or maybe that's some people's idea of a good time at Pinns?

The bolts are part of what makes pinnacles "pinnacles". The climbing isn't for everyone and some bolts are really bad. The more you climb there, the more you can appreciate the story. I'm not saying that having a bolt pull is a "fun time", but it's a great memory if everyone is ok. The guy did not fall and a piece wiggled out from rope drag. It just happened to be a bolt.

Cantaloupe death is one of my favorite climbs at Pinnacles. The risky leap of faith start is exciting. When I climbed it last April the bolts seemed fine to me.

Hmmm, bad bolts huh? Pinns bolts are no different (note I said bolts not hangers - I LOVE the handle...Clint why'd you put a hanger there ): )than any where else old bolts are 1/4 inchers with home made hangers. Climb the stuff with good bolts or go do some work and replace the tired old mank.
