Probably not but I admit to a childish desire to go out and put the bolts back in again this morning (and maybe a few more for the sake of it). I believe that is the traditional approach. Maybe I should put some of those massive home made glue in u bolts in it. Or there are other famous tricks I could learn from Gordy such as greasing up or glueing over all the holds or shoving some faeces in the crack. But being a mature person, I instead tried to initiate a polite conversation about it and got told I was dumbing down the route to my level and bolting choss new routes. I hope in his new found expertise, he has told Glenn, Simey, Mark Wood, Ingvar, Muki and no shortage of other people how they are doing that as well. I'd hate to think he just got his knickers in a knot over a no star route from Louise's guide that barely ever had an ascent and a route of mine that he failed to get up.
