| | Y | I did the route last week and it was a little unsettling to rap off the webbing on the top both because of the appearance of the webbing and the rock around which it was tied |

| | N | Climbing is not an activity of convenience, especially in Eldo. There are other options that work just fine. If you want everything to be safe and convenient go sport climbing. |
| | Y | Webbing anchors are both and unsightly and inherently more dangerous than fixed/bolted anchors.
If this also assists in preventing trail erosion then it is definitely the right thing to do for the long term benefit of Eldo and the climbers that visit it. |
| | N | Why? |
| | N | I oppose the Allosaur bolt anchor, and support the Vertigo top anchor relocation, not sure how my vote on the Vertigo anchor ended up being counted on Allosaur instead.... |
| | N | |
| | N | Simply not needed as there are other options nearby. |
| | Y | |
| | N | Could someone tell us the problem with threaded slings? Slings can be replaced when needed. You don't feel safe with slings? Remove the junk and add your own sling or descend elsewhere. In response to the unsightly argument I must ask: who is put-off by the slings? Other than climbers, who can see the slings? The premise that climbers are offended holds no water. Witness the abundance of chalk throughout the canyon. Seems like we are catering to an decreasingly lower and lowest common denominator. |

| | N | There is really no need for these anchors as there are plenty of options here. folks have been doing fine on this for many years. |
| | Y | |
| | N | People have been climbing this route for 34 years without much difficulty descending. Safe and ample descent options currently exist. I don't see a compelling reason for anchors. |

| | N | There are other options here. If the new Wingshot rap anchor goes in as proposed, it will be best to simply use those. |

| | Y | Great idea! |

| | Y | I could be totally wrong about this, but it seems like last time I did this we just downclimbed to the lower bolts shown in the picture. In general my opinion is that we shouldn't provide bolt anchors in place of reasonable downclimbs.
But... regardless of whether it is practical to downclimb, the fact seems to be that many choose to rap on slings, and a thoughtfully-implemented bolt anchor is a better idea. |

| | Y | good idea |
| | Y | |
| | N | ... are they rap anchors or bolts for top roping? Leave them be and go to Shelf. |
| | Y | This anchor will improve safety and aesthetics on this portion of the wall. |
| | N | You can descend via other ways, fixed anchors.
I find the "replaces a sling" an uncompelling justification. In order to invoke this for any desired anchor, I must simply put a sling there, or a batch of them, then wait a few months and viola! Justification for bolts...

| | Y | Since this is replacing a wad of slings, it isn't a proliferation of rappel anchors. I have always done the descent to the east and it is indeed an erosion problem. This anchor is cheaper than building a trail there. |
| | Y | |
| | N | It seems, more often, that, not only do you have to wait for a slow party to finish a route, now you should wait for them to rappel too. |
| | Y | Ditto what Tod said. |
| | Y | Replacing unsightly and unsafe webbing rappels with metal anchors is always a good idea. |
| | Y | Why not improve safety on an often used rap route? |

| | Y | Allosaur is a popular route. A permanent bolted rap anchor makes sense here. |
| | Y | Seems like a good solution to either the webbing proliferation or unfriendly descent to the east. Allosaur gets enough traffic that this is justified. |
| | Y | Current anchor difficult to locate and access, especially late in the day. |
| | Y | |
| | N | I think the existing anchor atop blues power/wingshot is pretty rapid to get to, the routes below are not too popular and it works just fine. |
| | Y | |
| | N | |
| | N | The anchor on top of Wingshot works - why the un-necessary proliferation of rap anchors? |
| | Y | |
| | Y | Sounds like a good idea.
