Too bad the anchor bolts got chopped. The climbing and the gear at the top stinks.

I agree that it's unfortunate that the bolted anchors at the top got chopped, but the pro at the top (after you top out) is very good and very solid--stoppers and #2-#3 Camalots go well.
Call the local Radio Shack and ask for Mr. Horak. I'm sure he could tell you who did the FA on many of these you have questions about.

The anchor on Unrelenting 9s was also chopped recently (also, for the 2nd time). All other bolted anchors at the crag are still present, and it appears that no attempt was made to patch the holes.
I don't want to again discuss the ethics of whether a bolted anchor should be on top of these climbs or others at White Rock. These disagreements have been going on for years, despite 2 community consensus agreements.
I would like to see removed hardware returned to the person who paid for it.
If the people who chopped these bolts (which had been up for 8+ months) in the last 2 weeks see this message, please contact the local climbing organization, the LA Mountaineers, or contact me, and the gear will get returned to the appropriate person, and in exchange, you can have your karma back.
