Incorrect - this climb has not be rebolted. Jenny Wren has been retro bolted. An explanation of what and why is a very different entity to just cause and justification.

Incorrect - No bolt or fixed gear has been replaced on this route. No bolt or fixed gear has been moved this on this route. Not really sure if you understand what has been done at all.

Simey has already agreed that he would be happy to chop these bolts, apparently he's bring his camera.
