Howdy.
Climbed at Table Rock for the first time and saw the anchor at the top of North Ridge. For those who haven't climbed it recently, as of 4/10/04, it was three fixed pins (sound okay) arranged vertically in a cracksystem, connected with fading webbing like a cordalette, with two ancient rusted lockers.
I have two problems with this anchor:
(1) The webbing is starting to get a bit old. It's obviously faded with some abrasion.
(2) Those lockers have seen better days.
So, that brings me to the question: What would be the best way to upgrade this anchor? I am thinking about cutting off the old webbing and lockers and replacing it with new webbing (climb-spec) with a pair aluminium rap rings, tied in the same configuration, but if anyone more familiar with the area had a better suggestion, I would love to hear it. Would 8mm cordage last longer? Better way to configure the anchor?

Hey Coyle...I climbed North Ridge yesterday and it seemed that there was some new webbing on that anchor. The old rusted lockers are still there but dude those things are stout.
What would be nice is rap rings off the top but hey i don't mind a nice hike.
