Anybody got a great photo on mank? (The climbing kind.) I need a image of old 1/4" buttonheads, or similar. The more bent, rusted, and deathly looking the better. It can be in-place or something you found/pulled and made a snap of.
Thanks!

Station from Friday the 13th. Actually the bolts weren't that bad, but the moss growing from the slings was unusual.
Bolts/stations from upper part of Greasy But Groovy
Broken zmac rivet from crux of Shakey Flakes (5.11c) - resulted in 110' fall. (Thanks in part to a sling breaking on the bolt below).

Geez, I was gonna post some shots from some El Cap obscurities, but that's mostly solid granite, and you desert rats have me beat all to hell.

These are all GREAT! Keep 'em coming! That desert stuff is scary! Makes me feel like a wuss for complaining about old Valley bolts.

From North Quarter Dome / Pegasus:
Original YC bolt - 3/16" Star Dryvin, but well placed and not too bad. Well, maybe not great pro for an 11d crux.
Non-original belay bolt up high; poorly placed at an improper angle to the surface.
Non-original belay bolt at base of All Time Finger Crack [Nailup]. Allows use of a stance instead of sling belay from pins at the base of the crack. (Not placed by Mark and Max; they had no bolt kit when they did the onsight FFA).

Hey FGW,one of those mank pieces looks to be on Steins Pillar up in the Ochocos. I didn't take any pictures, I was too busy laughing and shaking my head. Some of the most classic mank is on Steins

Those look really scary, particularly the ones in sandstone, and the first one posted by fgw. That hanger looks like it's made from thin sheet metal with the vertical portion bending like that. Also the 3 bolt anchor shown in Clint's post is hosed with the bottom right bolt placed where it is, creating uneven loading. That should have been placed on level with the other two. Glad there is a program of replacing them with newer and stouter placements, which are correctly drilled and placed in the rock.

Brand new stainless steel didn't last long in this tropical climate.

fgw,
Upon another look, that whole first collage piece appears to be from Steins Pillar, or we have two climbs that went to different schools together!!!
