I can add one to the Arrigetch count. There is a loose boulder block chockstone thing up high on pitch 12 or somewhere around there. We actually pulled it out a bit and slung it then put it back in. Only its in more of a crack facing upward then vertical. One of the guys came up and said "is that solid?" and gave it a tap. It moved a bit and I made sure it resettled before mentioning that it was better not to do that....

I've posted it before, but it fits in this thread:

Well, technically it was a rappel anchor and held some long sliders as the highest piece before bailing, but didn't actually hang out at this spot and belay a leader for upward progress.
