If anyone is heading there this week, could you tell me what sort of bolts are in the easy routes on the left hand side? These are the grade 3-5 ones left of Peepshow/sideshow etc.. I just want to know if they are P bolt style or have nuts on. Cheers!

Cheers all! It would be great if people could stop pissing just under the routes. I do realise hidden space is at a premium there though.

I think people were relieving themselves there before the bolts?

The extreme left end of the crag isn't great rock which never felt like the ideal place for the lower graded routes.

As others have said, I'm fairly sure they are expansion bolts.

Probably were! They were put up for a local kids outdoor club, so of (very) local interest only.

I've wondered (when doing the necessary) whether anyone ever climbed those routes. Will happily walk an extra 5 metres to wee if anyone is. Maybe we need a little sign on the first bolt.
