Pitch #4 [ Sizes: Orig | Med | Small | Thumb ]
Pitch #4
Bruce following the 4th pitch of Safe Sex, sustained 8+ slab with huge runouts, as you can see. I took a massive 50 foot whipper on this pitch when I got off route a bit and slipped. Freaked me out and my but is sore as hell, but no major injuries.

Derek FranzenWow...

Voted 10/10

Who put in the bolts and did they do it on lead?

Pretty sure they were put in on rappel. They are all 3/8" modern 5 piece bolts. I spoke to the first ascentionist and told him I though these pitches need more protection.

Thanks for the vote.

If those bolts were truly put in on rappel, that is sick and wrong. Runouts due to a ground-up FA is understandable, but rappel and drill? Sheesh...
