Include as much information as possible:
-- The date you observed the bolt
-- Photos if possible
-- Be accurate with the location, include pitch number (if applicable) and bolt number or anchor
-- Identity of the bolt

This is mostly a test

The bolts at the belays sucked but the route sucked too. We traversed over to the top of Dark Of The Moon and rapped down Western Grebe.

Couple of things to consider:

- The first belay is the most important as it is used by multiple lines. The rest of the belays are not bad, just really crusty webbing with a single rap ring. The topo in the Ruckman guide for this line is not accurate at all. The pitch count was wrong as far as we could tell.

- The No Star Tuesday folks are going up tomorrow, and might be getting on some routes that use that belay as an anchor. I won't be getting out until next week but I would be happy to be a belay/drill slave at that point.

Second belay bolt was replaced at the NST event.

Two more belays left.
