OK, this is a bad quality photo (shot with the sun behind the rock) but it shows the middle 1/3rd of pitch two of Dilley's Delight. Note the bolts (5 or so) on the right side of the crack (c. 5.8). Most of them are quite good. Once you clip the topmost bolt, you step right (5.9) to enter the final gully below the summit (May 1, 2004).

Hasn't voted | Both are valid questions. We too were surprised to find so many bolts there next to a crack that sucks up cams perfectly. Don't know when or why (esp. why so many) bolts were placed there. | | Posted May 3, 2004 1:26 pm |

Hasn't voted | Did someone upgrade those bolts? They look pretty shiney. When I was there a few years back they were rusty old 1/4"ers with homemade sheet metal hangers. I wouldnt mind seeing the bolts removed though.
Good series of photos and page by the way. | | Posted Apr 10, 2006 5:03 am |

Yeah, some crack bolters definitely hit this Oregon classic! Rel. new bolts were right next to the crack that ate good trad. pro. These MUST'VE been additions because there were still old bolts there. Why would someone do that?? No idea. I'm guessing it (Dilley's Delight) doesn't see enough traffic for someone to "clean up" the extra bolts any time soon either. | | Posted Apr 10, 2006 2:36 pm |
