Looks like a 15 foot bouldering problem to me.
Now it would be a free solo!

I saw a guy who shall remain nameless drill the first bolt on a short wall with both feet on the ground. There was a hole of sorts just to his right, the idea was for the climber to emerge from the hole and make the first clip. Of course the climber could emerge from the hole, step aside onto Terra Firma, drink a beer, then climb the remaining 15 feet to the shuts.

This was at a high desert area NE of LA.

Shouldn't some things remain as a boulder problem or toprope?
I think people are going overboard with new routes (happens up here too)

Would be great if this were an anomoly, but the pair appears to have done this to the tune of a 100 'routes'. They even wrote this description on one: "Bolted crack". I mean, wtf is with some people?

If "no one owns abandoned gear" then why are you "stealing" THEIR hangar

The litter includes the bolts, I assume.

Funny how you can take a proud 5.9 highball problem, and turn it into the stupidest climb in the world with a couple of bolts . . .

At least they are aware of how the game is played and will not be angry when their beloved route gets the chop

This says a lot because you have probably seen more stupid sh#t than just about anyone on this message board. And I agree.
