The Squamish Big Walls guide put together by MM and JF indicates that all the Zorros bolts have been upgraded to nice fat 3/8's.. If i know Luke, the boys are cooking dinner as he fixes a pitch right about now....

NFR here. Pretending the stories of bad bolts are just to scare us. We got some tunes bumpin. Getting cozy, and now that the wind has died down, it ain't too bad. BK was that you shining the spotlight at us? We thought it might be the police freakin out.
Bmacd, you jealous yet?

Oh Bruce I guess u didn't hear that MM actually reinforced the faulty Chinese bolts by lining the holes with the foil from chewing gum wrappers and overtorquing them. Should be bomber now.

They are alive still. I just tooted them in the car park and they looked down. They are somewhere under the roof I think.
The aid guide is ambiguous regarding the bolts. The text says fatties have been installed, however the picture mentions fatties only on the roof....

OK, so I drove by at about 6:30 and could see a headlamp, probably just under the roof. I flashed my headlamp at them, FWIW. It was +5 and windy, so they'll be doing the dreaded triple spoon stack for sure.

Don't worry, we're short fixing so we'll be anchored to lots at a time.

Why would you be anchored to spoons? That makes no sense at all.
And tell Luke to stop squashing empties into cracks. Just because Daryl did it...

Once upon a time there were three little bears who went climbing. There was Luke-bear, Kieran-bear, and Nate-bear, aka Brownie-bear. They set off on a nice morning...
(Everyone should be read a bed-time story, eh?)

First they stopped for a safety meeting, to put on their "Friend of the Chief" buttons, and to correct spelling errors. Also to check if Ryan had snuck along. While walking through the enchanted forest...

While hiking through the forest, the three bears were assailed by trolls. There was the Bruce-troll, the Greg-troll, the Hamish-troll, and the Jim-troll. "You're going to die" said the cheerful trolls, unaware that this is a childrens' story. "The bolts are going to break, you're going to freeze, you should just wait until they build their idiotic gondola, plus we envy you all your fun". Pretty grumpy bunch, eh? The intrepid trio continued despite the trolls, and soon were at the base of the wall, where they rehydrated, had another safety meeting, and sorted their eleven bags of stuff...
