Title: Space Invaders bolts and line
Post by: i_a_coops on April 05, 2013, 11:21:12 pm: Had a look upwards from the top of Space Race today, and saw no bolts going straight up the big line of undercuts and flakes, and two really dodgy looking old bolts miles away up and right (further right than the Mescalito belay). Are there semi-decent bolts up there somewhere?

Also, for Space Invaders do you have to go direct where Space Race traverses right under the roof? Yorkshire Lime and Rockfax seem to have different ideas about whether Space Invaders is just an extension of Space Race or not.

I do remember a couple of the bolts were quite rusty a few years ago so I wouldn't be surprised if they look shot by now.
