Bolting at Mt Buffalo 22-Mar-2006 At 6:52:56 PM adventureguide

For those that have been following the Bolting saga at the horn at Buffalo a good laugh might be in order. So Here Goes!
Earlier this week two Victorian Climbers actually went to the Ranger Station and asked if they could charge their Bolt Drill Batteries as they were putting in a new climb on the horn and their drill was out of power. When the surprised rangers asked if they realised that bolting was not allowed and if they had been following the issue of bolts at the horn on Chockstone with the VCC they reportedly stated that they had not heard of either, and that they thought that bolting was OK as everyone did it!
So there are some honest free spirits out there still!
What the rangers told them to do with their batteries and drill is unreported but it would have been good to have been a "fly on the wall"
