The Eyrie, Mt Boyce retrobolted! Badly... 1-Jan-2017 At 4:08:19 PM E. Wells

Never itching , but sure , can do that. I guess my question is which hardware to use as I would tend toward a rebolt (like for like , with only difference being stainless glue in) on a climb where it is possible to stand upright on your feet and not fall backward. However there seems to be alot of people who oppose the continuation of bolts that require bolt plates. It is one thing to insist on community consultation but who ultimately makes the call in regards to REBOLTS. I personally wouldnt want to see rings or u's in Khe san or Dan the Bulldog but alot of people oppose the use of machine bolts so I think some routes will forever have bolts that are less dependable simply because its not worth the supposed controversy of replacing them. I am thinking of rebolts , not retros. So...back to my question , which is not entirely hypothetical , if I want to replace bolts specifically on Another Mans Juliet , which hardware do I use. I await community consultation. Otherwise anonymity will be the default of bolt replacement.
