The usage is they're abseiling off a cliff, mate. There are at least three generations of navy bolts in the one area, it isn't a single carefully designed system, one set is glued in gal. I'm going to go ahead and call bullshit on this install. If you would like to fly up and offer your professional opinion after actually looking at what they've done, that'd be great.

Also, bolting buildings isn't as difficult as you're making it out to be. I understand that you kind of need to make it sound like it is, since the business relies to a certain degree on scaring building managers :)
