contract very quietly awarded and executed with no public consult or comment. NPS claims there was a comment opportunity and EPA study as part of the 1984 Valley Master Plan. But hey, it's cool. they're building a comfort station with 2 showers.

If you were to purchase one of these hangers, which one would you choose?
I did purchase one of these for the Chouinard segment of the Karabin Museum and paid $183 total.
I am thrilled to have this hanger! Of course I have the biggest hanger collection in the world but at the same time I thank Erik for his presented opportunity.
Which hanger would you choose?

If there's a buyer and a seller, and there is consent...

I've taken a few bolt hangers off routes, but only 1/4 inchers that pull out from rope drag...I keep them for my personal collection ;-)

Personal attacks on Erik = super classy.
I guess I better fess up for the shitty old piton I kept from one of my climbs up El Cap eh? Major history here!

Gee Jim, a bit cynical eh.
Some of us punters dig seeing, even clipping the old bolts. In Pinnacles one route has a door handle...it would suck if someone pulled that, and then sold it as history. It just seems cheesy-and i'm not accusing Erik, i don't even know him. But his "ethics" seem suspect,
that doesn't help. Profiting off of "volunteer" work for the asca, or donation of your own time seems less than noble. And it strips the crags of their history... I agree with the folks here who like to see old bolts in situ, flippable or not. It gives me a sense of wonder, at what climbers are capable of.

Roots - The hanger probably broke during a haul or on a fall. My guess it was during a haul.
