Imminent Thunder (24) at Gilhams retro?

Hey,

Just curious if anyone knows of a retro bolt of Imminent Thunder on Red Rain Wall has occurred recently, looks like there is new shiny ring bolts, more than there used to be? I could be wrong - but almost looks like a fully bolted sport route now instead of a two pitch trad route.

I added one extra bolt ( with permission from fa).
It's a great route, but no where near a sport route. The whole crag needs fixing as the carrots are very crap. It was never a trad route btw.

Ah okay - yeah I knew it was a mixed route though i just saw all the new shiny bolts and it looked very sporty as I've never noticed some of the bolts before, and the new bolts have lured me into giving it a crack. Yes, the wall could do with some replacements! Thanks for updating the bolts mate.

Yeah, I agree with this one; looked like a great line - but a bit out there and spaced, with not so inviting bolts - so never even got on it. Will have to now!
