So we went to do a re'retro' at Mackeys slab, but unfortunately it was....wet. Really wet.

Bolts removed from:

Further bolts removed from the top of fuhrer. I pulled the 5 a few weeks back and was sent a text saying that there were more so we went back an removed a further 3 which were around the corner and which I did not see.

We chopped four useless bolts off the top of the cathedral where there are natural gear placements for anchors (near the top of bloodnok etc).

We were going to chop and clean up the mess on pitch 3 of The Initiation, but the weather set in.

We chopped 4 bolts from the slab where geoff found more volts near the tennis court.

We chopped a basically pulled bolt on the south side water fall route and have left the other bolt near it so that it can still be used on the climb ever though there is gear relatively close.

Can we make it a rule that we use expansion bolts rather than glue-ins and over drill the holes just in case they need to be pulled?
