From memory the bolt is the only protection from a nut in a sketchy flake, 3m of roof or so and jugs on the face above, after which it's a staircase. Access from the top is easy - you could preplace a long sling over the lip perhaps, but not everyone is going to do that.
It's a one move wonder climb really, a poor man's kachoong.
Replace the bolt for all us paupers. |
