There's only a dusting in the valley this morning, not even a quarter inch. It's curious as presently there are only blue skies everywhere! Dusting of snow will be gone within the hour. I'll be climbing this afternoon, woohoo! :)

a buddy and myself would go to the west wall route and do laps cuz it is such a fun route, we did however dub it "focus fest" bcuz of the friction friction friction! mostly because we didnt know any name for it. still a fun climb, we've been goin a bit over the roofy part at the tree(bush) for a directish finish to the anchor, that part is still cleaning up and a bit harder than the bottom. have fun! p.s. would love to rip them bolts out and put new guys in, i aint falling on those things! i see its an unknown f a, mostly to try n lead it and asking outta respect. dave.

Cool, thanks Dan. That photo makes me miss the Woodfords.
I'm hanging out in Durango right now, waiting for a job in Maui to mobilize.
How are things back home? Any new routes recently? I'm anxious to get back and start scrubbing!

Ron, those things seemed pretty bomber still at least in shear, it took a little effort with a three foot prybar. and I did use the same holes. Maybe I'll zip over to led zep and fix that up this weekend but it's perty cold over there.

Kenny, nice. That looks like 3". SS.
I've been thinking it's better to use ss locking washer in lieu of ss flat washer. Any thoughts there? I wish the hanger package came with ss locking washer.
Do you know if using 2 and a quarter wedge bolts for anchors in our granite are now substandard? or not?
On the other hand, maybe it would be no big deal to use cs locking washer together with the ss hanger and bolt.
I wonder if Chim uses 2 and a quarter or 3" for his anchor placements. Maybe he'll pipe in here.
