Quiet day on the NE
face of Ha Ling today. Of note is the dissappearance of two bolt hangers:
1) Pitch 6 is missing the hanger on the bolt that is protecting the
(already) run out crux section, where the rising traverse to the right
climbs up steeply for about 6 meters to the next bolt. 2) Pitch 8 (The one
before reaching the big dihedral) is missing the bolt hanger right above the
belay, which is protecting a slabby traverse to the right and helps to avoid a
factor 2 fall. Both bolts are crucial for leaders whose grade level is at
5.6 or 5.7 and the dissappearance makes those two pitches quite hazardous for
the time being.
Stay
safe,
