Unfortunately this is the mind set of a few individuals with very little idea of the consept of climbing. ACTUP is in the process of removing many of these bolts (I could list the routes but it will be a nice surprise for the onsight). Dont worry most have bomber natural gear nearby. A couple of the removed pins have even left good nut placements aswell. ACTUP have developed a method for the removal of glue ins which does not scar the rock, except for the original hole. Actually the ease at which these glue ins can be removed brings into question how secure they are in the first place. Kachoong has been added to the list and will be cleaned shortly.

Thanks,

ACTUP
