All things considered, bolting badly is one thing. Like you said they can be chopped and or repaired with new bolts.

But using your drill to deface the wall at head height, with large numbers permanently is not very ethical. The only way to get rid of it would be with a jackhammer, now that is another call.

I think the amount of effort route setters put into making bolts less obvious by painting them or only using bolts instead of F/H is a sign that we don't want it to disturb the parks too much.

Seriously there is a huge difference between marking a route with a little bit of paint or a small plaque as in europe to drilling in sequential holes to make a huge number 22 or 23. In deep into the rock face.

And i don't think that would be accepted at any crag, not at frog, blueys, araps, coolum, anywhere
