bolts in face above Rocket, Pet Wall

Post by tobyfk » Tue Sep 10, 2013 6:41 pm

There are a couple of lonely bolts high on the glacier polish face above Rocket/ Lost Highway ... right of the top of Project Grizzly, left of the top of the Couch and above the Coffin traverse. Also some anchor chains directly above. I can't find it in the recent Squamish Select, the previous edition of that book or the 2001 McLane guide (I don't have the most recent McLane edition). Does anyone know what it is: route? project? abandoned project? If it is a route, I assume it is a hybrid gear/ bolts thing as there is a big gap between the lowest bolt and the Coffin.

I believe they were placed and not removed after the "Twilight" filming....

It is a Craig McGee project that he abandoned a few years ago.

I have been trying to figure this out. Did you mean a couple of anchor bolts (no chain) above a ledge just left of the very last moves of the Couch? That seems consistent with where the vampire-emperilled climber (Sonnie?) is seen in a few frames of this clip ... for example at 1:48

There would be scope for a very short and pointless new variant there ... "Breaking Dawn the Couch"?
