Does anyone know about the re-bolting going on inside the park? I haven't been able to find anything anywhere about who or why this is happening. Granted some of the routes need new bolts, but they aren't camouflaged and some of the climbs have both of the anchor bolts chopped and left with one single bolt with a rap-ring. I guess its not a big deal, but any kind of information would be nice. Thanks!

Which routes?

I agree that there are several routes in need of maintenance, especially some of the older routes in the Ghetto. But it sounds, from your description, like someone is (a) doing a crap, sloppy job, and (b) perhaps leaving unsafe conditions (e.g., two bolt anchors replaced with single-bolt anchors).

Im not sure the name of the routes because they aren't in the current guide book. They are the first couple of routes when you stumble upon the Stumbling Blocks though. That day in particular, I wasn't able to explore much of the surrounding area so I don't know if any other routes were changed.
