Yep, depends entirely on the country/area. In many of my local crags sub 5.8 routes are bolted pretty superficially, as that's tradition.

Earlier in the thread someone mentioned that adding new bolts were proposed by one of the first ascentionists. Some people probably misunderstood it as an old reference, but I came across this post a couple of days ago.

The FA is beyond the statute of limitations, it’s now in the hands of the “community”.

Do you mind sharing which routes had bad anchors in Tuolumne?
