Thanks Kieran, that's close enough I guess ....

Ambyeok , climbing progression has relied on the freeing of 'aids' from climbs, this is simply part of that tradition ... Bolts are un-natural aids that are often unnecessary given modern climbing gear and technique etc so we should just take them out ...

At least lets re-imagine bolting .... How about we put in a Maccalov thread, there's already a hole from the perfectly functional bolt so just drill another one at an angle so they meet up and then you can put some dyneema sling in it, all good ?? And of course you don't have to clip it if you don't want to . . .
