Bolts in Yankee Doodle?
We will be doing Yankee Doodle in about a week and are curious about the initial 2 rappels. We heard that the bolts before the last 100 foot drop are gone now and that webbing is needed to set up a natural anchor. So anybody know if this is true?
Btw. We will have a 180 foot rope (dynamic) will that reach to the bottom of the second rappel if we single strand it?
Thanks.

#1. I doubt the bolts are gone because guides use this a lot
#2. The rap is only about 70' not 100'
#3. If the bolts are gone there is a huge boulder to rap off of
So no matter what the scenario is it really shouldn't be a big deal

Did YD Nov 9. Used the LDC, mostly freeing hang rap to enter. Bolts are still there. Only water was in the one pothole near the end with the downclimb around the boulder jam. Water was only shin deep, if that. Adults can bridge accross, small children could easily be carried. A family with 2 very small children (6 to 8 I guess) were using the 2 stage entry and were behind us most of the way. They didn't seem to have any issues and were enjoying themselves. Sorry I don't have a better pic of the water.

no I agree. I was surprised to literally find bolts on every simple downclimb. They aren't needed.
