Just a comment on the overall condition of the anchors on all the routes @ Broads Fork: all of them seem to be large round-eye rusty glue ins. They don't look bad per say but are certainly placed in weird location, are well-spaced and rusty. This place could benefit from an anchor update with bolts/chains.
Most lead bolts seem solid but all of them are rusty. The hanger on bolt 3 (I think) on the 12b was tightened above the bolt instead of hanging naturally below (sorry for not being very clear). It puts a lot of torque on the bolt when you weight it and I wouldn't feel comfortable whipping on it.
