As aggressive as that sounds, I understand where you're coming from, and I definitely don't want it to come to that. Next time you're down at the perp have a look at our highline bolts, if you or anyone else still find them dangerous, or overly annoying let me know which ones and I am happy to get rid of them myself. Would certainly prefer if the highline and climbing community stay on good terms.
