New bolts on hanging gardens, broughtens bluff

[christophbenells]

I climbed hanging gardens a couple days ago, there is 4 or 5 new bolts, Little climb x jankies. I'm not anti bolt crazy, but why were they placed there?

Little climb x jankies.

 

Is this the name of a climb? Where exactly are the new bolts. Thanks!

The second pitch of hanging gardens is where they are. 5.6 terrain with plenty of cracks, up to the Sesame Street start. They even put one about two feet away from mr potato heads piton anchor.

 

The bolts they used are climb x brand, those ones that aren't uiaa cert.

Presumably the same person added a bolt to the left variation start to P1 of Hanging Gardens as well as to Giant's Staircase. Both of these bolts were placed near naturally protectable sections of the respective climbs. Same Climb X hangers, same steel studs and the same time-frame. Both of these bolts were removed by a local climber.

 

Of the four new bolts leading up to the base of Sesame Street, I removed the highest one (old hole is puttied up). This one was placed within a yard (horizontally) of a large nut placement that would stop a train. Though I don't agree with any of these bolts being placed on a classic, established line, it didn't seem right to remove them all until getting more feedback.

 

While up there, I replaced the anchor at the base of Sesame Street with a pair of SS Fixe double-ring hangers. The old anchor was looking pretty junky/rusty.

With regard to righteous indignation over chopping and retro-bolting, this incident would seem a far more appropriate application and one with a ready solution at hand. The fact they'd buy anything from climb-x alone tells you up front they lack the judgment to be bolting at all.
