The Desolation of Smaug! (6c)
I was very disappointed this morning to find that a Stainless Maillon and lower off Ring had been stolen from the Desolation of Smaug!
Who in their right mind would do this? The route took months for me to equip, the Maillons and Rings were added to make abseiling down the route easier and safer in the event of a forced retreat in e.g. Bad Weather.
Again it defies belief why fellow climbers would steal from routes that they no doubt climbed and enjoyed.
If whoever did this is reading this thread, you owe the North Wales Bolt Fund Money, so please put things right and make a generous donation.

I did replace the missing Maillons and Rings this morning, just hope they last a bit longer this time......
