In reply to Mark Kemball:
Indeed.
But I was not referring to the decision to de-bolt or the concensus behind it or the West Penwith policy but rather how I had understood it had been carried out - merely cutting the eyes and leaving the bolts in situ rather than removing them or cutting them off (which would be the more usual meaning of the word "chopped" in your reply to JCM).
If the bolts could be put in in the first place, then they could have been removed/chopped to de-bolt.
Ach, it's so many years ago now. 1992 or 1993 was it...?
It's always good to see the rare repeats of ME's hard routes. And this repeat by Wojciech is a blinder.
