Shanty Hollow- Sport

UPDATE 11/19/11

Put two more bolts in the route, all that is lacking is the two bolts for anchors and the chains, which will be done as soon as this infernal rain clears out! The latest two were done on ascenders and some tension tricks using small cams (bodyweight only, otherwise the route could be led on trad). Bolts used were 12mm Coeur Goujon 5-part bolts from Petzl (12mm because of the nature of the local sandstone; go beefy or go home!) with a Petzl Rocpec hand drill. Some more cleaning needed yet, but the route definitely goes, and should be a lot of fun once finished. Climb on!
