Admin Notes

A large circular rust stain indicated that the freely spinning hanger of right bolt of the anchor system has been corroding behind the bolt. Furthermore the anchor bolts are horizontal inline in the same sedimentary layer which can compromise redundancy. Two glue-in Wave Bolts were placed, one above and another to the right of the corroding bolt. The chain that accompanied this fix will be replaced with more aesthetic hardware soon and the old hanger on the right will be removed. These fixes provide redundant anchorage for Dave the Dude. I did not notice a problem with the second to the last bolt.
