Did someone really put bolts on a climb at the Lake? Oh, this is gonna be good.

This sickens me. Not at the lake. Who's got the chisel? That's what I say!

There is an entire circle of hell built for people who bolt crack climbs.

Don't worry friends, the bolts were chopped immediately, and the holes are literally unnoticeable (because double sided tape doesn't leave holes.)

As long as the bolts are painted purple, it's ok.

I heard y'all might enjoy this:

A nut that appears to only be held in position by leverage from the wire... Clipped to the bar tack of a sling and equalized to a questionable cam placement.

Lol! That's pretty bad! Good find Otto

That cam was severely unevenly cammed (one side under and one side over cammed). The nut... had a pencil tip of surface area on one side. (when that nut could have been a good placement, easily!)

1.  I'm here for real now and not just passive spirit via Jon. 

2. I think the argument that could be made (sorry this is really old). Is that you can monitor the ATC one because it is connected to you.  You can't monitor the one at the top.  That is a good reason to use two.

Not to mention the fact that that is a detached rock!
