where is that at? Ive climbed a lot at smith and never come across anything half that manky, even most of the obscure rarely climbed routes have something decent to rap off. Oh i see from the photo tag its zebra, I dont remember ever seeing that.

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of it but we ran across a nasty rusted ass 1/4 inch button head with a leeper hanger that was pulled out about 1/2 an inch on Snake Dike in yos. My partner was leading the 3rd pitch and missed a turn and was lured up to this bolt. I wish i had taken a picture, and a crowbar.

these r boring

but if you consider "manky" as anything that would not support a fall.. i guess these qualify..

i dont' know if this setup is alright for equalizing a cam and nut... idk..

Your ability to propagate idiocy across multiple threads with such efficiency is inspirational.

Do you have to work at it, or does this just come naturally?

That is a picture I took of an anchor on Mt. Tibrogargan in the Glasshouse Mountains of SE Queensland. Needless to say we replaced it with two shiny new double ring bolt anchors. Yes it is an old engine valve and I still have it in my museum. It was ground down flat on both sides of the stem and hammered into the crack. The route went up around about 1960 and we took the mank out around 2004. On another route nearby there is still one of these relics protecting a bit of a crux. No way am I going to remove that bit of history.

The piton in the above pic was reasonably sound.

Check out this for a rap station. It is on Mt. Lindsay in SE Queensland.

Not that I'm in any way qualified to dictate rules, but it's supposed to be actual anchors on actual rock.

Definitely the best looking anchor I've seen on this site, or anywhere for that matter.

Don't you just love getting scared climbing up only to find no relief at the anchors!

From La Ventana Mayor, over here in Pachuca, Hidalgo, Mexico.

This is a manky pin, there is something that just doesn't feel right about the ring

This one is a manchor on the same route, actually, right next to the manky pin. The yellow one up higher is the "new" (10 year old) bolt that is actually used for protection. Not precisely a brand new Petzl long life, but it's 3/8 and pretty much standard over here.

Looking at the stamp, I can't tell if it says 800 or 806

If it's 800, I'll put up $10,000 saying the alien holds more than that pin. 806 means it's "tensile tested" and probably will but ugh, don't start that again.
