Greg lowe is asking that the bolts be removed.

Let me know if I can help.

Awesome thanks for talking to him. A friend and I are going to take care of it in the morning.

Jordan and I removed all of the p1 bolts & anchor today, he was able to do this while on lead placing natural protection and I carefully patched the holes on the way up. The bolted anchor was situated 20 feet below a natural belay ledge with lots of protection. 

There was another random anchor between natural belays that still has one stubborn bolt I couldn’t remove or re-torque. I’ll eventually get back up there with the mini angle grinder but if anybody is headed up Macabre soon I’d be happy to lend it & my patch kit.

Several bolts were placed directly next to splitter cracks…
