there were a bunch of slacklines at easter going to/from bluff major which used bolts as anchors. there was a set of bolts (4off?) installed above eskimo nell, another lot on the rock up and behind missing link and a 3rd lot looked to be on top of one of the boulders on bluff major.

the hangers were removed and the nut/bolts left sticking out of the rock. a freakin mess IMO.
