Caution! Boogie 'til you pukes loose bolt 14-Apr-2016 At 8:00:42 PM Mark R

This is the second bolt on the arete to go this season. The ring placed on the crux of Hollow Screams Original came loose early in summer and has been replaced. That one was insufficiently (read not) recessed with an angular fall (and a fall taken pretty often). Unfortunately while loose the bolt has also been an absolute sh`te to get out (the weld broke while attempting to torque it free. It will no doubt yield to a good wailing on which is now due. The bolts below are also poorly recessed and a bit of an eyesore... they get climbed on much less and falls are linear so they are holding up pretty well.
