Sorry Macca, claiming you didnt cause the problem doesn't give you leeway or excuses if you do a sub standard job of removing them.....go ahead remove them but just do it the right way and not cut corners.

If you want to claim moral outrage at the bolts then you need to set yourself at a higher standard than the original protagonists, other wise that soap box your on is pretty shaky. What has been done in the past is irrelevant to the current bolt removal process. They are there, and they want them removed so just do it properly...rather than rushing it and giving number of bolts cut tallys as though thats the end game only...with the end game I thought was actually meant to be fixing any impact of the bolts in the first place.

Of course the bolt removers might be doing a good job, only picture I've seen in this forum indicates the pretty ordinary job though...happy to be shown pictures if its otherwise the case. I seem to remember a picture of bolt and patch removal in safer cliffs using the proper method that Neil did a few years back? (can't remember which thread though)...and I think that should be the aim for the end result I would think.
