I was thinking of adding another bolt to that anchor just to the left of it so the rope would run better, instead of over that edge. I guess i should contact the smoke bluff committee?

I think we're talking about different anchors Mike. The route Ali Bhutto is the leftmost one on the upper slab. You climb the easy corner cracks on the lefthand low angle slab to get to it. I think you might be referring to the anchor on top of the three short cracks called Clean Starts.
If that anchor puts the rope over a nasty edge, you don't need anyone's permission to correct the problem.

Yeah Mike, the right stuff is the shortened version of the now obscure- the wrong stuff which starts on the challenger, used to be able to place an optional nut in the middle of right stuff but there was a new bolt there yesterday.
What's that crack Luke's on? The one right of alley bhutoe, don't know the name but I like that photo, cool clouds!
Did u name Ali Butto Tami? What's that about? It's a funny name.

BigMike; thanks for posting the Split Pillar video. I've hated go-pro cams in the past but am now reconsidering. As said above, that was sick. Hope you're healing up.

Another thanks for the Grand Wall vid. You have to wait a while (about 28 minutes) for the humour toward the end, but it was worth it. And as a local I would like to thank those guys for making the Split Pillar into a climb the size of a planet.
