I think we're needing some additional input from climbers on a possible bolt chopping issue here in Ojai. There just aren't enough local climbers chiming in with any opinions on the issue and I'd like to hear others view of what's going on. The situation in a nutshell is that 5 new bolts have been added to an existing traversing climb to create a plumb line under the anchors that uses the last 3 of the original routes bolts. Please read the comments section of the route and tell us what you all think. Thank you.

An Internet bolting war? This won't be controversial. Thanks for getting it started, Jon. :)

And please, please, please, please read all the comments before posting responces because many of the comments are erroneous and disputed later in the thread. Read all of the info before forming judgment. I know it's asking a lot in this fast paced world of ours.
