How many of the trad routes at Sandrock have anchors to lower and set up topropes for seconds from?

i can think of a few but not all of them. it depends on which ones you are wanting to do. the ones that are on the more popular holiday block almost all have anchors. the reason being most people climb up the backside of the boulder and hog them as topropes. There are a couple of routes on the pinnacle that have them (the standard route, and comfortably numb). Then there are the anchors at the top of a couple of routes out of the sandpit.

Many of the trad lines on the Sun Wall have anchors as well. Golden Flake/Popular Science, White Gold and Knob Wall come to mind. I'm sure there are others.

dont know the status of the anchors on sun wall... but we used to put in gear and sling chicken heads for all of the routes at the sun wall area.

so if the existing gear looks manky (good possibility) you can always set up your own gear to TR.
