Those bolts were actually an old Dimitri Barton first ascent that climbed the face to the right of the crack then met up with the OZ crack. It was just really run out so they did not appear to be the junction of a route with OZ. They had survived the previous bolt wars because the line was proud and Dimitri tough. Put up on lead.

Oz is on the list this year for sure.. If those bolts aren't back, we will be bringing the drill. To honor Dimitri.

I was just clarifying. No threats are needed. The bolts are already gone, no need to scar the rock and the beautiful climb anymore.

This has probably been brought up in this string somewhere above already, but the bolts that James removed on Oz where placed by unknown first ascentionists who aided Oz many years before Dale Bard and Bob Locke did the FFA. Some have said the Harding did the line way back when, but that has been denied by some. In any event, Oz had those bolts installed long, long ago. I do know that when Dale and Bob got up to the 3rd crux face pitch (5.10d) they encountered a bolt ladder there that let them free that section without drilling. I think Dale added one bolt to the ones that were already in place.
Someone must know the true history of the Oz dihedral? Such a prominent line must have been done during the 60s by someone. Just hard to miss seeing Oz from the Tioga Road.
