Please view our disclaimer.

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

Only one bolt on this one and it's the worst I've seen so far in Fergy. SMC hanger, bolt bent in 2 different places, spinner, I hand tightened it a bit but can't do much because of the bends.
I think the route doesn't get climbed very much but the bolt might not survive someone blowing the crux mantle. There's a good piece a bit lower but the bolt failing would put you very close to the ground.

Mike, I can help with rebolting projects in Fergy, I have a very opened schedule these days. Get in touch with me if you need help!

This bolt could use a replacement, also two studs nearby could also use a patch job. Mike, Alexis and I would be happy to do the work, rig, or just fetch beers.......
