Cause generally when you rebolt its done with rings - fair assumption in my opinion.

If you are gonna have a dig Chris, at least report all the facts and dont pin point one person.
Macca was not the only 'bolter' - i also bolted routes there as did at least 4 other people and there names are all on the website (www.climb.org.au) you just choose to take the easy target in macca. Why not have a dig at the person who climbed one on one, he is just as guilty. Or is above your worthless childish digs ?
You would have had the opportunity to talk to macca at the climbing festival yet you take it up here, in mexico ?

I cant talk for the other guys who bolted routes, however at the time i 'put drill to rock' i had no idea i was NP land.

I gotta go home - i will finish this tomorrow.
