UPDATE New Bolted Line on Kim Williams September 2012-December 2012

Work in progress on a new bolted line just before Mickey Mouse (the crappy mixed line that sometimes is in on the Kim Williams trail) The line follows the obvious holds up a small headwall, and can either be dry-tooled or climbed. Got one bolt in so far, waiting on a belayer and a power drill for the rest! The one in so far was drilled on lead, self belayed from an old eye-bolt and hanging from an old 1/4" "death bolt" that flexed reassuringly when I shifted my weight. Drilled with a Rocpec hand drill, 12mm Petzl Couer Goujon 5-piece bolt. Will place two or three more on the actual route, then two at the anchors with chains and quick links. More progress and some pics to come!
