βeta: Was looking forward to a 3 star 6c to climb. Shame to see all the bolts removed, as you can imagine! From the look of it, it has turned from a trad route to a sport route and now a toprope route mainly. Doesn't make sense to leave it like that IMO. Can we have a petition on it or something? After all, we are a climbing community, not a dictatorship.

βeta: The roof above has had rockfall and does not look stable- it is possible to move left before using any holds in the roof at the same grade thus avoiding the suspect rock
