Loose anchors on Conifer Crack 26-May-2017 At 9:53:55 AM Dave_S

Message

I'm headed to Arapiles this weekend, and have a grinder. Unless there's any objection, I'll chop and attempt to patch any failed bolts. If there's still one good bolt in the anchor, I'll make an assessment whether to chop it or leave it (with the intention in the latter case of coming back to replace the failed bolt), based on whether the rap is doable on a 60m rope, whether ropes dropped from this anchor are likely to land on a Tannin belayer, and whether the anchor seems possible/likely to also be used after approaching from the top (say after climbing Wyrd). But removing any trace of the anchor is a much more likely outcome than replacing it.
