The Squamish Access Society announced on their site recently that fixed draws on 10 routes at the Chek on Circus Wall have been replaced with fixed cable draws and stainless steel biners. The draws look like this:

What do folks think?

The update mentions that the following routes were also retro'd as part of the phase 2 of their re-bolting initiative:

North Walls
All anchors on Alaska Highway 11d were replaced including the first rappel off Astro Ledge. In addition, the old fixed line for the approach to the base was also replaced with a newer static rope.

Murrin
Shaman Wall: The following climbs were re-bolted (including anchors as need be): The Shaman 5.10a, Tia 5.11c, Medicine Wheel 5.10d and Raven 5.11a.

Pet Wall: 2 anchors and 1 bolt on Beers are Not Enough (AKA Petrifying Wall, the original route on the cliff, 1970) 5.10d were replaced and Even Steven 5.10d received 2 new anchors.
