To me this seems the most obvious and practical choice, but the fact that no one has mentioned it makes me suspicious that there is a solid reason not to rap from bolts directly. Could any experienced climber explain this to me?
Sure. A conventional bolt hanger can damage or even cut a rope. Does this look like something you should run a weighted rope through?
The only hangers that it is considered safe to run a rope through are Metolius rap hangers, which, when used in pairs and set at the correct angle, have a rope-bearing radius equivalent to a carabiner.
