bolt nut missing in Thornton
Was up last week and had a wonderful time.
Did Thornton. Wow! Nice canyon, wish we'd had more time (and group
efficiency) to do more of it.
A two-bolt anchor near the end (ie, not far above the bridge), to
the side of a swirling pothole, somewhat hard to get to (a short rap
off a spanning log); is missing a nut and hanger. The stud appears
to be intact. Nice thing about those big beefy bolts, you don't
feel too bad about going off just one.
It appears the action of the water in flood loosened up then removed
the nut. The hanger was flattened, but still attached to the
mangled webbing.
Perhaps whoever is in there next could bring a hanger (with a big
hole) and the correct size nut, and maybe some silicone sealer,
epoxy or thread sealer.
