The bolts are still bomber I bet.

As Don Mellor wrote in an old Adirondacks guide: "The person who coined the phrase 'solid as a rock' has never been rock climbing."

The anchor itself looked pretty solid still. Just the rock around it..

I like that last quote. Climbing yesterday outside for the first time since I was hanging on Jolt last Sunday was interesting. Topped out on b-b-buttress and looked at the anchor and thinking for myself, will this anchor now hold.. The huge rock at the start had just gone missing in the last few weeks. What next..

To Eyebolter-- your point is well taken-- and thanks for reminding me of Don Mellor's quote-- lots of truth there BTW I think a trad climber could now use those bolts as a decent ground anchor

Pretty sure that could be a new top anchor for one of Bradley white's  hill side choss scrambles..
