WTF!!

If you want bolted boulders go to Legoland

People have been bouldering out there for years without seeing the need to sink bolts.

It's a bouldering area - if some of the boulders are too high for you, then climb something smaller.

Or try to save your ankle by finding a friend and getting them to spot you, like other people do.
