Hi Guys,

I've got a couple of questions about this climb for the masses:

1) What's the latest on the condition of the bolt ladder? I see from this thread that the original beta was from 2005. Has the condition of the bolts changed much in this time?

2) My rack is bountiful in the wire, hex, cam, sling, quickdraw, ascender, rope department, but don't have any specialised aid gear. I'd buy 4 aiders and a couple more bot plates prior to an attempt of SP, but would I need any extra stuff climb? How has everyone found it gear wise?

3) The stick clip! how big stick do I need to make the clip? I see from the previous commentary that a communal stick sits up there on a ledge, but I'd hate to get there and find no stick!
