Was there on Saturday. One of the top hangers is severely rusted. Worried old chain would snap if bolt failed. Left a screwgate in other hanger as safeguard.

Maybe we need to organise an ARF meet for Kalkbay in the next few months,

Ya Cormac dude...Sounds like a plan. Bring your trad gear...Not too keen to hand around on many of those bolts for a long time

I'd be amped to come out on a rebolting session - I've not ARFed in ages!
