Looks like we’ve lost the battle for eyrie

First time I did it there were NO bolts no carrots no rings no bolts
The Eyrie belay was off the two amazing sandstone horizontal spikes one of which served as a runner for the “cave” exit. Remember this is a 13. Eyrie is Mt Boyce’s Muldoon! Since then bolts have crept in. The pitch out of the cave has a (since1990) carrot protected move up about 90% as well protected by the Sandstone spikes as the carrot Then on the arete there’s a slingable spike the last move being protected by a no 7 stopper or 9 rock or thereabouts.

Can someone please tell these easy grade bolters where Bonnie Scotland goes and point out the 8+ Well spaced cams you can use instead of trying to turn a rather nice real Rock climb into a sports bolt clip

My number is 0476 823 394 just if you wish to call and I’ll even lead you chickens up it !
