Wow by this argument you may as well open the doors to anyone that wants to create ugly 1.5 metre spaced clip ups on any rock they choose: "Oh they won't remove the bolts because it'll cause more damage". Seriously? Short of assaulting and making an example of the perpetrator (which I'm not advocating) the only way to stop an excessive bolter is to remove the bolts.

How on earth would taking bolts out affect access? Unless there was a really bad patch job.

I wouldn't have led Profanities without the bolts, but that's because I lack the guts / couldn't be bothered with the top rope thing, I don't see that as a problem.

However I don't think the bolt job on Profanities is a bad thing, if the FA had been consulted first.
