It just makes you wonder what the heck it is and where it came from.

It's a slip-static pulley. I like it fine. I just wish it were higher, so you don't have to boulder down to it. More than once, I've done the walk off instead.

Aye, Im not a fan of doing that little shuffle to the pulley gizmo. I suppose its necessary to be that low so your 60M can have just enough stretch to the Crows Nest?

I wish the walk off got a little more traffic. With Sentinel and Zoo View the traffic going up and down gets congested at times.

I think they are talking about the rap station at Golden Earring not Sentinel Buttress. I didn't find the one at Sentinel bad at all and I certainly didn't have to boulder down to it. However, the one at the top of Golden Earring I did, as I remember...YMMV

nah.. we were talking about the Sentinel anchor. You don't have to boulder down to it if you just came up Sentinel Buttress... but it's the descent route for a lot of other climbs which all require that approach. I agree with the assessment that it was probably placed there for the sake raps on a single 60M rope. It barely (or almost) gets you down to the ledge.

As far as the stuck #1 Camalot, I first saw it in early February, and it already had some rust showing. It's a lot more abused now -- looks like people have been hammering on it. I just clip it and go now, don't even waste any time trying to get it out.

I found another lost cam on Sentinel on Sunday. We had to get back to Charlotte, otherwise I would have taken the time to booty my second cam in as many weeks.
