FYI, we encountered a set of hangers without chains on a climb in the Black Corridor. Not seeing any anchors in sight, I clipped into these and lowered, forcing Kenway to rap off of these when he cleaned later. Turns out these were hangers designed to have rope run directly through them:
Yeah, not seeing these before, I threaded a quicklink through the one rap hanger just in case (the other had a rap ring through it). It was confusing since there were old anchor bolts another 12 feet up.

Looks like an amazing trip, although there are two disturbing elements: 1) Brian took off is shirt to climb, 2) Brian and Kenway slept together.
I love the first two pictures.
1) I needed a tan.
2) I placed a barrier between Kenway and I to block groping.
Its funny, I heard you tried to make a move on Kenway during the night...
That's a damn lie!

Neat hangers, though...
