Comments: Bolts look very rusted. I am not an expert on how saltwater mist affects bolts, but it appears to oxidize significantly. Some bolts good, some not good. I pulled out an old-looking bolt with one hand. I passed the rebelay and was ready to descend, but something didn't feel right. I decided not to unclip my safety tethers, and reversed and went back up. I believe in trusting instinct - we bailed. Maybe it needs new bolts. The two main bolts may have been placed last year, but they too look weathered and rusted - saltwater oxidation?
