I am potentially being unclear. It should be noted that there was an initial communication breakdown between me and the first person who bolted the crack. I thought I had directly mentioned it. But with all the prattling I was doing excitedly showing him the new area the actual comment got confused along the way and there was a mix up.

This lead to the initial bolting and chopping but was subsequently resolved between us. I had obviously not made it clear enough.

This second series of bolts had no confusion around it. They have been placed to antagonise me.

This for me is however is not the most relevant point. I've always been of the belief any route that can go fully on trad (as an obvious line that one can venture up ground up onsight and climb without injury) that has been bolted should be chopped regardlesss of who has claims to it.

But I didn't realise this had been washing around the chockstone forum for the past weeks and can now see that you would all be bored of such conversations
