Port Hills love and attention

Kev Nicholas and John Entwisle have been working on the the Twisted Sister replacing unrated chain links on runner bolts, improving anchors, cleaning climbs and adding a few bolts to dangerous runouts. Others have been in action on the steep left handside of the crag, but nothing is known of what they have done, except that it looks hard. John and Kevin's efforts have been on more moderate routes as listed below:

The Stalker 18 Chain links replaced with hangers
Future Cops 20 Wire sling round sapling replaced with 2 bolt anchor
Energy of Dogs 21 Now has a direct start with a bolt thanks to Kev. Take a cam to protect the flounder onto the ledge.
The next three climbs were resurrected from the dead and have turned out to be well worth doing as well as safer. A good effort mainly by Kev
Killing Capitalism with Kindness 20 Now isn't potentially fatal. 4 bolts with hangers lead up the excellent wall. Interestingly after John had replaced the top bolt he went to remove the hanger and the old bolt sheared with with the first crank of the spanner so beware of rusty aged bolts! Possibly best to finish up the last moves of The Corner(at about 21) as a better line enabling the draws to be retrieved. The bottom part of The Corner is overgrown and damp, perhaps best left alone.
Debris Slide 18 Now has 4 bolts, but take a cam(about 1 Friend size) to protect the moves to the third bolt. Chain and ring at the top
Cock in a Frock on a Rock 22 Has been morally reformed with 5 new bolts and hangers, a good clean up and an extra anchor bolt. However cross-dressing still recommended.
Making Losers Happy 17 Redone with new shiny bolts and hangers and an extra chain at the top.

Cattlestop

John pleads guilty to this one, but Neil Sloan encouraged him.

Merlin the Happy Pig 20 Now has a lower bolt, a more in line third bolt and a 2 chain anchor.
Basil Brush 19 Start is protected by the first bolt of Merlin. Rumoured to have already collected a few plummets.
Pinched 20 Has 2 bolts plus 2 anchor chains.
Dance to a Different Tune 21 Has 2 of its own bolts and the third from Electricorpse
Pssst 19 4 bolts and 2 anchor chains on the left
Surgical Strike 22 Has a lower bolt to reduce possibility of surgery
Fingers Fred 20 4 bolts and 2 chains under the scrub at the top. John Entwisle April 2010
