Fear not superstu, for all has not gone completely to the dogers in the national capital. The off-width roof at Gibraltar Peak had its first ascent just two weeks ago, and by a local, and sans bolts.

And Ian T, yes! earlier this year the big off-width line left of Soolaimon at Trojan Wall had its first ascent by the same bod. Found high up under the roof was a bong, would this have been placed by you? what the heck did you protect the rest of this 35 metre beast with pre #6 camalots and big bros? (maybe you figured your galibier super guide would stay wedged in the crack even if the rest of you didnt?) maybe you just didn't? I'll attempt to add a pic of both these get'n done:
