i'll do it when i'm next up there with a bit of spare time. i only have a hand drill, but it does the job OK.
cheers, don

I was working in Squamish yesterday, and went up after I was finished and replaced the ONE bolt at the top of Trixie. the tree is plenty big and the root systems are in fine shape and I would judge will remain so - no need to turn this into a two-bolt anchor - it's not like it's the most popular route in the Bluffs, either...
cheers, don

Thanks Don! One bolt and the tree should be fine, I was just a bit worried about using only a tree.

Offtopic: I got a nut mysteriously lodged in one of the cracks on pixie corner, is that thing still there?
