With my permission, a friend added two protection bolts. These were subsequently chopped by an anonymous individual. I always thought the rule was: it is OK to add protection bolts to a route as long as you got permission from the first ascent party?

A nice little slab climb, but as it stands now, an andrenaline filled, R or X rated lead: if you fall on the 5.9 move getting to the bolt you'll get hurt bad!

(The original 1/4 inch bolt is still there, rusty leeper hanger and all, to protect the crux).
