If you mean the "Green Glacier" descent route that winds its way down the centre of Crater Bluff, then this was DEFINITELY not bolted by Eric Dark and Dot Butler. In 1958 I climbed to the top of the Bluff via their original route (and descended the same way) and our only belays were vegetative. The abseil bolts now used on this descent route are a relatively new addition. |
