How about Taipan, this wall has the potential to be one of the best sportish walls in the world yet it's covered in lame bolts. I rebolted Groovy 28 last year with rings as Rich Heap had put them in ridiculous positions. I didn't have the right tools to get the old bolts out as i was on a road trip but i'll get them out next time i'm down.
Mr J has bolts in the most ridiculous spots and could do with fixing, the chain on Venom is dodgy as hell and i wouldn't tie my dog up with the chain on the belay of Serpantine! Invisible Fist, Snake Flake and World Party also need doing, infact most of the bolts on the wall are sh*t or in the wrong position. This is a damn shame!
Speaking to climbers from all over the world i've heard complaints about dodgey Victorian bolting and bolt ethics. It's great to see you guys are wanting to bring Vic into the 21 centuary, but watch out i'm sure a few old guys out there will be waiting with their cold chisels to undo any good work you do.
Keep the ball rolling, Victoria's and Australia's climbing image needs it!! |
