old manky

Postby Fred » Wed Oct 19, 2005 10:08 am

Has anyone ever taken a close look at the "Rock Opera" (below Gumby Roof) anchor? That's some manky shizo in my opinion. The nut is half on for one of the bolts. Any objections for a replacement?

Chop em...there is a bolt anchor over the roof and you can do a single 30 m rap to the ground.

I think "Rock Opera" and "Check Your Prostate" deserve their own anchor since this is where those routes originaly finished. no?

I would suggest checking with the FA and ask him - Rob Lemmon I believe. Then with his approval, do as you please. Telefunken could probably use an anchor while you are there. Placed 30m from the ground so as to avoid people walking off after having to belay from one of the big trees higher up. I'll donate hangers if you'll drill and supply bolts.

I'll talk to Karel for Telefunken and I'll also talk to to Rob for Rock Opera
