Fully sick bolt wars at Araps 7-May-2016 At 10:22:28 PM One Day Hero

Live update from central gully right:

-Some crap route got redpointed after 25 years as moss habitat

-2 weeks later it got retrobolted to shit (with full consent from the f.a.)

-1 week later some hectic relocated pom with weird pom ethics chopped a bolt (maybe 2), then sketched his way up it........this was pretty funny to watch.

Meanwhile, the party who retroed the route showed up to go for the redpoint only to find a pom on the route and a bolt on the ground, and the bloke who did the f.a. 35 years ago was climbing 50m away......and they're all mates and live within 300m of each other, but didn't think to talk about shit over a coffee.

Fukin' Nati.....why would you be anywhere else?
