There have been meetings in the past and at the time the conclusion was the replacement of manky bolts and rap stations servicing an area. (Places where in the past there was an ever increasing number of crusty slings as an example) No consultation into the placement of the bolts and lower offs has been made with the climbing community. ACTUP is just returning climbs to there original state (nobody has a problem with replacing a crap bolt with a good one).
