With a large amount of development over the past few years and a few of the open projects falling in the last two weeks, Evan Hau went to the effort to create a new topo for the area. Please note below some caution regarding the bolts on a number of routes in the area.

It should also be noted that a number of the glue in bolts that were replaced in 2011 show ‘significant sideways twisting motion within the slot by hand.’ Not all of the bolts that were replaced in 2011 have been affected but climbers who are using the area should show extra caution and inspect the bolts themselves before making a decision to climb on them. In a recent facebook post, TABVAR made it clear that climbing on loose bolts is not safe and has asked climbers to not climb on the suspect bolts. TABVAR is also in the process of organizing the re-bolting of the affected routes.
The following routes have been affected.
Le Bleu du Ciel
Le Stade du Mirior
Bataille
Dale’s Extender
The Angry Inch
The Warm-Up
Porthole to Hell
Sweet Thing
Fully Jingus
Jingus Americanus
The Hood
Hairball
Altius
Endless Summer
Existence Mundane
Special thanks to Evan for his efforts at this wall over the years and creating an updated topo.
