Is it fixable? Could it be re-bolted or is that bad practice?
What a bummer, sounds like it was a sweet route.

The bolts fell out by "Chance"
There's no intelligence required to put them in or to take them out.
It all happened by "Chance" ........

It's possible that some nature loving local ...
That must be it. That damned Smoking Duck.
(Ho sh#t, I didn't realize that Duck just posted...)
Or maybe it was a mistake, and they thought it was that rap-bolted and chipped Wheat Thin.

hahhahaha now I bet people are praying for Sloan and his Powerdrill to show up! LOL
How about the first bolt on America's Cup, still there?? That move is well protected by placing a hook on the right crimp. Duct tape and send. Brah.

who is oliver? is that a real accusation?
it is puzzling that someone would chop chips ahoy. a ground up, hand drilled route, put up ages ago.
it is too bad that who ever had the conviction to try to erase such a route doesn't have the conviction to admit it and explain their actions.
i am sure they have their reasons, and they floated around their brain for a bit. too bad they weren't able to have a discussion with someone outside of their realm to see if their ideas had merit. we all think we are right. it takes an intelligent person to be willing to question their own opinions, consult others and actually be willing to change based on outside thoughts. or in the case that their ideas did have merit, they are able to explain to others in a way that it makes sence. chopping bolts without fessing up seems cowardly.
the old men in town have bad elbows and better things to do than replace chopped bolts.

Much easier to destroy than create.
I may be able to replace them if I make it out to the valley later this winter/spring. But I have never re-placed bolts before, only placed.
So does anyone know if the bolts here were cut or got out leaving a re-useable hole? If anyone has any tips on the best way to do this email me.
