The Bolts Are Back In Town

Written By Matthew Conroy

The RMF is pleased to announce that the Phase 1 bolt restoration on the below climbs has been completed.

  • Hemlock Groove, 5.6 FA: Fritz Wiessner, Henry Beers, William Burling 1933 or 1934 

  • Knight’s Gambit, 5.7 FA: Sam Striebert, Ed Arens 1964

  • Vajolet Corner, 5.10- FA: Sam Streibert, Dennis Merritt 1971

The bolt on Vanishing Point was not able to be restored at this time due to rock quality issues. We are exploring solutions and hope to have a viable option by next year.

All restored bolts were placed as close to the originals as rock quality would allow.

The RMF has decided to see how Phase 1 weathers over the winter before determining which climbs to include in Phase 2. That said, Phase 2 will go forward in spring 2023.
