I am curious what people's thoughts are on the age and quality of bolts on a few popular routes in the McDowells are (for example, Renaissance Direct). I haven't given it too much thought, but recently was climbing The Settlement on Tom's Thumb and found the 1st bolt to be in awful shape. It is rusted, sticking out ~5mm with a spinning leeper hanger on it. The second bolt is better, but still old. Is there resistance to updating to modern hardware, or is it just that no one has taken the time to do it yet?
