Squeeze job at Red Rocks

Does anybody know who bolted the route between black track and bigfoot in willow spring? What a moronic thing to do. Now you can clip bolts from blacktrack if you don't feel like bringing your trad gear Jeff Larsen

chop, chop.

chopping bolts leaves as much of if not more of a scar on the rock than just leaving them. all it does is generate a 'revenge cycle.' jeff's got the right idea to try and find the person who did it and maybe educate them about what they're doing. 'course this will probably be met by a closed mind and some kind of 'go regulate somebody else, i'm a climber and i'll do what i want.'

if you've got to remove bolts, try the ASCA tricks and actually clean up. clean holes are better than chiseled stubs. filled holes are probably better than clean holes, but i haven't seen the results of filling attempts, so can't judge.

the most important thing is to provide proper feedback to people who need it in a way that they can listen to and understand. normally that's not in a public forum with highly judgmental language.
