Went out to Frenchs Dome yesterday and replaced bolts. Thanks so much to Matt and Katy Hoechlin, Scott Robertson, Rob Holzman and Jess Holzman, Sam Horack, and Erik Matthew Jenson. They all came out and together we replaced about 25 bolts, effectively finishing the re-bolting of Frenchs Dome for the next few years at least. Several bolts pulled out by hand, and many more snapped with only a 1/4 turn of the frozen washer. Kind of scary. Here is a list of what we replaced: Replaced starting bolt to Tin Tangle/OZ Replaced 5 out of 8 bolts on Alpha and the anchor. Added Rap Rings Replaced 7 bolts on Static Cling, and removed 5 extra bolts and an old piton Replaced two bolts on Giants Staircase, and removed an extra bolt, and fixed a badly positioned hanger. Replaced two bolts on Yellow Brick Road (left the old bolts for historys sake) Replaced Rap anchor on the front - added rap rings Replaced anchor to Dirty Deeds (AKA Silverstreak) - removed three old anchor bolts and added rap rings Replaced anchor to Crankenstien - removed three old anchor bolts - added rap rings Replaced anchor to Pump-o-Rama - removed two newer anchor bolts (but very poorly done and unsafe) - Added rap rings. Again thanks to all the help!!
