Bolting in the Warrumbungles 16-May-2011 At 2:34:22 PM Andrew_M

This was done just before Easter by a chockstone regular who will undoubtedly put his hand up shortly. The argument as I understand it is that the bolts are for rap retreats from Leiben and Cornerstone Rib. I was up there at Easter and wanted to look at the bolts in person but didn't manage to get on the routes. This is a completely different case to bolting a poxy sandpit on an obscure cliff next to Piddington. Generations of climbers have done Cornerstone Rib/Leiben safely without any bolts.

How long the bolts remain will be interesting...someone who I told turned instantaneously purple, started spluttering and immediately started looking for a crowbar.
