2 out of 5 stars new bolts

I posted a while back mentioning the rusty pins at the top and now all of the bolts have been replaced as well as the pins. Thanks for the maintenance!
On a side note, we climbed this route after already having our fingers take a beating on a few more Crowder's routes...this one is easy, but it HURTS those paddies! It's like angry sandpaper! :)
