Comments: There are bolts now inside the flare that protected with gear. Going to the arete may be a variation, but they added bolts to the start in the flare well before traversing to the arete. I understand that the gear is small, tricky and heady, but it's still there. With the knowledge that it is not an FA through the flare, I think the bolters should correct their actions. I'm not trying to be provocative or confrontational, just informative.
Comments: You bolted a route that went free last year on gear, on-sight. We didn't have the temerity to assume that it was an FA, let alone to think about adding bolts.
