My friend just got back from Ely Peak. She said there appear to be a bunch of bolts in the old tunnel there (with quickdraws hanging), but I don't see anything about bolted routes on the MP page. Can anyone shed some light?

I've been told it's a friend of Pete's. But yeah, it's too wet for anything else. There's also a bolted route up the side to the left as you come out of it that looks pretty cool.

There are 3-4 bolted lines in/on the tunnel. About 2 on each end. Easiest is M8 I believe, hardest is m12 that went last spring by the local crusher Adam.
