All on pretty worthless mega cruxy climbs that no one does. Those bolts always made me a little annoyed the very first time i saw them - yes they are some 'ard man routes from the 80s but did they really need to be the one to spoil the rest of the whole crag being potentially bolt free? Probably not. That rap chain about Debutante DS is especially an eyesore. Kieran - dare I say maybe we need to leave new routes that "might" need bolts for the younger/stronger/bolder next generation? Just this one crag could really be a beacon of bolt free for Victoria. Death March Wall is a tiny insignificant wall - its not a major area and is certainly not going to give scope for future bolt free new routes for generations to come.
