Semi-fixed bracket on Bald Eagle
As others have noted on "Bald Eagle,", the 3rd bolt doesn't want to take a 90 bracket.
As that's all I had, I hammered mine on, but couldn't get it off, so for the moment their is a fixed bracket on the 3rd bolt.
If you try to get it off, make sure you get it off clean..
I don't want anyone to be surprised with a jammed half on bracket while leading!
I believe I also had this experience. Climbing above a bolt with a jammed bolt plate half on was very character building
Maybe next climber can put a 10mm mallion through it and leave it at that?
