I call BS! I haven't been active on here for ages, but I made an exception in order to not be counted towards your 'silent majority' who somehow support unilateral retro-bolting.

How are we supposed to gauge the opinion of those who don't speak up? Chockstone is by no means the only form of consultation one should undertake before reto-bolting, but it is the broadest online Australian climbing forum.

The poll currently has 53 in support of chopping versus 2 against (you and the bolter I assume). That's pretty overwhelming! Or are you going to allege Russian hacking?
