To the old doucher and young doucher-in-training:

Rich and Rob, thank you.

That's like night and day. Great work, now for a water bar and you may not have to do it more than once a season or two. Great job guys.

From this old doucher, thanks Rich and Rob! Nice work.

Major props, Rob & Rich. That's righteous stuff.

Way to doucher that crap out of there guys!

Nice job, guys. Thanks a lot. It was a stellar evening for some cleanup work.

^5 Nice Job!

Good job. How did your knee hold up getting up there?

OE, thanks for asking. My knee is ok for moderate trail hiking (and Uberfall scrambling) at this point, and it withstood carrying packs of rocks up to a level spot thirty feet higher up. Naturally, I'm suffering from the general deconditioning imposed by four months of reduced activity (and 68 years of living), I can't run or jump rope yet without pain (boo hoo), and I can't high-step in a climbing position, so I'm going to be on the injured reserve list for a while longer.

It was nice to get out with Rob and actually do something useful.

Excellent work!
I fall into the camp of not having replaced the anchor, at least not there. Since this thread wandered to broader topics from time to time, take a look at this thread on Supertopo for some alternate perspective.
