Bolts IN and OUT in Glen Canyon
I was down in Glen Canyon last week, and removed one bolt and placed
another.
The removed bolt was above a 15' rappel in a moderate canyon near
Bullfrog, with chockstones available to build an anchor. The bolt
appeared last spring. The hanger is a Fixe with the welded on ring.
Glen Canyon etiquette does not allow me to reveal the canyon, but if
you want your hanger back, let me know.
I also placed a 1/2" x 4-3/4" Powerbolt with Altus hanger at the
second rappel in Clear Creek Canyon (Cathedral in the Desert). Both
the first and second rappel have a variety of bad bolts, and one
apparantly fairly good bolt. The rock is very soft. I feel bolt
anchors are justified in this location, as: 1. they prevent rope
grooves; 2. the canyon is used to access the Cathedral in the
Desert, which some people do as a down and back trip; 3. because it
accesses the famous Cathedral in the Desert, it is a traderoute
canyon used by people who are of widely varying skills.
I suggest that a good bolt could also be placed for the FIRST rappel.

Queston: In the photo contest, two of the top photos are in Eye of the Needle/Oak creek, which I understand is currently closed to canyoneering. Why were these allowed?
I don't really care that much, but I thought I'd point that out.
PriceIt's my job to call the BS around here. Get over it.

Very cool TR. sweet looking canyon. Scary anchors, thanks for fixin' them up. I love the pics of Ram jumping into the lake, he has such a serious look on his face
The man thong is wrong.
