Loose anchors on Conifer Crack 27-May-2017 At 9:09:54 AM Dave_S

Ok, so the anchor is two expansion bolts with hangers, quicklinks, and stainless chain. The left bolt is loose, but I didn't have a spanner so couldn't attempt tightening it. They are positioned on the right side of the Conifer Crack pipe, a bit higher than the Tannin anchors, so a slight downclimb from where you might otherwise belay at the top of CC pitch 2. Not anywhere where you'd want to belay, but rather in a position intended for rappelling. The rap is 30m and takes you down the wall right of CC that faces Wyrd. It's very unlikely that a dropped rope could hit a Tannin belayer.

So, not glue-ins, as had been speculated, and I could not pull the bolt out of its hole at all. Rather it just wiggles a bit and has a spinning hanger.

Photos to come when I get home or it starts raining and I get stuck in the Nati Cafe.
