Sorry for the long delay. In mid March, when we were at Red Rox, both the bolts protecting the slab on the second pitch of Great Red Book were gone. My friend was showing me the pictures and I commented on the missing bolts. He didn't even know that they were supposed to be there. Just a heads up if someone is headed up there expecting a "PG" climb. Ya ain't gonna get it.

I was on the climb a few days ago and there were two bolts (I think) on the face climbing leaving the second belay station. They may have been 15'-20' or so apart.

So you climbed the route. Did you use the bolts?

Sure. I prefer there not to be bolts, but if there are bolts I'm going to clip 'em. = ) Only been leading for 6 months, so I'll use all the help I can get. Without the bolts, the pro woulda been pretty darn sparse! Wow... !
I guess the top was run-out about 40 ft or so (going straight up), but at least at that point, there's a lot of pieces in between you and the anchor.

Someone must have put them back since last March. My friend led it without the bolts and said it was quite exciting. Luckily the top portion after you put in the #4 is pretty easy slab climbing, but still spicey. Nice lead.
