Hey man, first I want to say that this is great footage and I hope you post more. I'm a new climber (Nov 2021) and was just introduced to "The Saloon," and spent this morning on it. I want to say 'thank you' for creating those routes, as they provide a much closer climbing spot than driving all the way to the Lemmon.
That said, I wanted to reach out to you to notify you of some loose nuts. I don't have, nor do I really care to create, a Mountain Project account, but I saw that you bolted those routes and I'd argue that I'm too novice to mess with them on my own (I don't want to do something and make them worse).
First loose nut is on "Angel Eyes" and it is the second bolt. The second loose nut is the RIGHT top rope anchor bolt for "Lick My Bolt Hole" (hilarious name, by the way).
Both nuts I could twist by hand. I'm going back up on Friday and I'll bring a socket wrench, but I didn't know if you needed to apply some sort of epoxy or if you need to use one of those fancy percussion drills or what. Like I said, I don't want to accidentally make it worse.
Thanks again, and hope to see you at the crag sometime!
Cheers!
P.S. Looking forward to learning multi-pitch climbing and doing this route! It looks like a lot of fun!
Glad that you like it and the Saloon! It’s one of my favorite spots also. That’d be great if you tighten the bolts up. Just get them snug, they don’t need to be super tight. I’ll check them out next time I’m there. Thanks for the heads up and glad you like the routes!
@@kwagner059 Awesome. Will do it this Friday.
Cheers!
Just found this on Mountain Project and was pleasantly surprised to see it was this route!
This will be my first multipitch and I'm super stoked!
