Bruce posted a pic of this hanger years ago and recently he donated one to the museum. This hanger remains unique as it was first made in 1961 and has not been copied. Grivel added a eyelet to their piton and Leeper added a eyelet to the Z-Chocks, but this is the only bolt hanger that I have seen that is created with a eyelet. Thanks Bruce Hildenbrand!
from Hidden Pinnacle - Bob Smith and Ed Sutton 12/1961.

Marty,
about those Japanese ring bolts. I found one of those(one on the right) on the North Face of the Eiger in 1986. For the life of me I cannot find it, but if I do I will send it to you for your museum.

Bruce - Totally awesome thank you so much! The other ring bolt that was available at that time was the Mammut ring bolt.
