Thanks for the heads up. Gibson's work presumably? ::)

Read the BMC advice on bolts to help decide whether you can trust a bolt or not. If you equip routes, make sure you follow good practice and check your work before letting others use it.

Are you for real Shark?
Place enough bolts and you will place some bad ones. Rolling eyes are a tosser's response. It happens more often than the punter ignorant of equipping/reequipping realises and most of the time, thankfully, nobody gets hurt.
Dangerous game climbing - you could always get an IRATA company in to rebolt all sport crags and have the BMC pay them hey.

That was a rush of blood but I still don't agree with the rolling eyes etc..
