Sorry definitely not a Troll.
I am just not that active on ST... Although I have had a user account since 2008! More of a MP person myself!
Anyways prior to making this adventure and following every forum about the given subject matter. I decided Super Topo should be one of the first places I sould share such a life changing and radical adventure!!!
I can tell everyone in the Climbing Comunity that all share in the spirit of the activity we love so much. I am waiting to get together with my partner to put our photos together and right a trip report!!🙏

Way to get out there and get it.

We applaud the effort. But we were disappointed to find a line of 1/4" (or 5/16"? we forget) button heads linking the left side of the remnants of the ledge (pitch 11) to the base of the 11c corner (pitch 12).
1/4" or 5/16" button heads aren't suitable for a very heavily traveled, beginner trade route. The Regular Route's original 1/4" gear has long since been replaced. The ASCA toils endlessly to rid our climbing areas of these ticking time bombs. Indeed, the climbing community is still reeling from the recent fatal 5/16" button head failure in Owens. Standard 3/8" should have been used to reestablish this iconic climb.
Also, the first two bolts are too far apart. They will quickly be sporting tattered slings.

Only way that line of bolts was gonna be 3/8ths is with the use of a power drill.
