Just so we can have all the facts please;

a) Did you clip the bolts to use for a belay before building the trad anchors?
b) Had you read the guidebook that mentions the belay bolts and decided to climb the route anyway?
c) Would you have bothered to even look at the route before it got two stars and a positive write up?
d) What grade do you normally lead on trad?

Having lead a few 50m pitches at Araps such as Kestrel I'd certainly gratetful for the bolts as I've usually place nearly all my rack on the route.
