WTF... Can someone explain this?? Gym holds on rock

Chopping and patching also sends the message that the climbing community is not ok with this type of practice. Keep plastic in the gyms.

Because it seems like climbers may have done something illegle on land trust land? might be best to erase the missdeed and pretend it did not happen?

I agree this type of "bolting" is in really poor taste and potentially dangerous. What if the land owner/board of trustees gave the ok (for whatever misguided reason) for those holds to be put there? Without all the info on why they are there - if you chop you could be the vandal.

This seems like a pretty good opportunity to educate them on how proper bolting should be done, as well as demonstate that most climbers can be good stewards of the land we use and climb on.

Idk about the rest, but could the bottom bolt be for and anchor for rope solo lead?

doubtfull that the trust ok'd something like that. at least arround here they are pretty uptight. Involving them in any way would most likly result in a new kiosk with a big list of stuff you are not allowed to do......

The bastille crack could use a bolt on hold.
