Rod, I did a double take when I read this, and after re-reading it I assumed you'd meant newer bolts over the years, or perhaps the tie off loops on the carrots from previous parties (although I did think it was strange to use the word 'graffiti' to describe them).

I couldn't let it go so watched the vid carefully pausing it every second or so. And low and behold someone has scratched "Aid climbing s..." (I assume it's "sucks") into the wall above the belay bolts.

I spent a good 10 minutes there with Karl, and didn't even notice it!!!

I agree it's a real shame.
