Climbed Dan's Delight on Bankhead Buttress Today. The Bolt on the 8th pitch
that the book indicates has been chopped, but there is some gear higher up that
you can place. From the top of the route the book indicates where one would
descend to the rap stations is 150 meters, but its more like 250 to 400 meters
down. There is couple nice cairns now. On the descend there is 3 cairns, and
on the 3rd one, climbers left and down aways there is a nice tree to rap from
with a clean pull.
Cheers.
