Thanks! Hopefully the bolts are gone and patched which would require a shifter and 5 minutes and no Chocky. Until then , banter is fine.

The bolts above Witch have now got captive rings fitted to them, I don’t know if they have been fitted above Wishful Thinking, I’ll check it out Thursday evening.
I intend on removing these and hope that the offender stops installing unwarranted hardware

I thought these bolts above witch/wishful thinking were removed just recently. Have they been reinstalled again?

The bolts were left in, which made for easy re-equipping

Sorry bro JDB.
I was wrong.
With the latest information available it appears the perpetrator has been educated by Chockstone! They obviously read Dalai reply to Chloe and went back to safetyise their botched lower off job.
Next thing they’ll want their hangers back to safetyise some other route...

From thecrag discussion, it appears to loweroff hangers were placed by the person who discovered these bolts and removed the original hangers and not by the original perpetrator.

This effectively sanctions the retrobolt.

Death to retroers by a thousand cuts would be progress.

Crucifixion?
This sounds even better than death by a thousand cuts!
