The set-up in question was incomplete at the time of thievery. As was the rest of the route. This is one of the delays in my releasing the second edition of a guide... new routes keep going up each time I'm ready to publish.
22 distinct lines now, and 3 variations.
But how did the culprit get away without leaving something behind? It's 20' of 5th class choss to the top. And they're installed just above a dirty slippery ledge. No evidence was left behind (no corpse belonging to a local kid at the base, no tat in it's place) so either the guilty party is has bigger balls than a beach party and climbed right out, or they rapped Tequila & Limestone to grab the weight on their way down.
The end product will be comprised of stainless steel screw-lock 'biners, attached to maillons, which are in turn fastened to a standard bolt hanger. The advantage is the leader can clip the 'biners without untying and be lowered without excessive friction or twisting. Screwing the gate tight, or epoxying it defeats the purpose of a lower-off anchor and it becomes an (over-priced and over-sized) standard rap station. If people learn from this tread, maybe we can avoid having to do the latter. Zip ties, if UV resistant can help, and I like Zach's idea of wire, both as deterrents only though -you can't stop a persistent ass.
