I’ve been on a flickr kick lately because I’ve been unable to get out and climb.  I guess the next best thing to actually climbing is going on epics through photos.

Thanks to ClimbingNarc for reporting that Simon Carter provided an update (link) on the bad bolt and cut rope accident.  In the update there is even a video that shows the the bolts being pulled out entirely too easily.  Check it out.  It is straight up scary.
