Dodgey Bolts at MT KEIRA West Face 10-Feb-2009 At 1:42:22 PM Uncle _Brendo

It did look a bit like it had been chopped, but I'm not sure what with (it did not appear 'pinched' as if it
were cut with bolt cutters).
I'm also at a bit of a loss as to why, unless the bolt was dodgy and was cut off so that people didn't
use it. There is a good spot of a cam near the bolt but as I don't own any that wasn't much good.

The guide that I had was the one found at the link above.

Most of the bolts that I have used there looked pretty fresh. Does this place have a bit of a rep for
crap bolts?

The bolting clinic sounds unreal. I'd be well up for it. I'd feel a little safer knowing that the people that
were keen to bolt new routes could get the right training and do the job right.

If you hadn't guessed I'm pretty new to outdoor climbing. I have been a plastic pumper for a while but
finally got hooked on real rock. Sorry for al the dumb questions and bolt paranoia.

Cheers.
Brendo
