Englestead Zion - bolts removed 9/24/2016
Went through Englestead last Saturday and removed 5 or 6 two bolt anchors that someone had added to the canyon early this summer. It is unclear in ALL cases why these bolts were added, as conspicuous natural anchors were available in all the locations. There was no clear canyoneer-impact in these locations that would justify adding them from an environmental viewpoint. The person who installed these anchors did not publicize their work.
We (obviously) rigged natural anchors at each location, except the last rappel out of the canyon, which is easily downclimbed around at a 4th-class level of difficulty.
Unfortunately, these Wave bolts are especially hard to remove, and clipping them left little barbs sticking out of the rock. I was unable to clean up the mess at this time, but will attempt to do so over the next year.
Thanks to the assistance of Savage and Cassy on this project.
