Hey I added a bolted anchor on Fern Gully (the nice 5.8 with horizontal cracks). The tree anchor that was used for years was in the way of the DND zip-line so they chopped it. I also gave the upper half a good scrub. It was dirty.

Is there still a way to set a TR on this route from above?

The very huge pine at the very top hasnt been touched. You could do a short rap/scramble (10') to the bolted anchor. You could also prob. use that tree for a TR but it wouldn't be great for your rope. Or you could lead it Dan, now that you guys have a rack :mrgreen:

The new anchor is an inch below the cut hemlock that was used as an anchor for years. The hemlock trunk is still solid for now but will eventually decay...

I don't think we'll be leading it this year! Thanks for the vote of confidence though! haha
