I was able to pull in some rope with the trusty hip belay and shorten the fall a bit. Probably not possible with today's belay devices.
How long did you have to work on that to get the words "trusty" and "hip belay" together in the same sentence? (Just kidding Ricky, just kidding)
You're right, probably can't reel it in like you could/can with a hip belay. Still, I just can't seem to bring myself to miss those hip belay days.
Very cool that you guys have all those pictures around from the FA. So often there are none. They certainly lend much to this thread. Thanks for posting them.
The replacement of the bolts was by far the most importanat thing that needed to be done to make the route doable again. Probably enough in and of itself. If a bolt needs to be added to P1 for free climbing in the future, let it be done then.

One good fall deserves another... Rick Accomazzo on (and off) the crux free moves on the first pitch.
