Nobody -- literally NOBODY -- knows the full story. Not the park personnel, not me, not curator and not even the guys who did it. Anybody who claims otherwise is lying. I limited my first post to details I learned directly from people in authority in the NPS. Now I'm hearing that the bolts were glued in places that are impossible to actually reach. I consider that a rumor (and beside the point) until and unless I can corroborate it, which will likely never happen. And again, it is beside the point of my post, which is to encourage constructive dialog rather than bonehead showboating.
And when I referred to a rumor mill, I spoke in general. Fayetteville's is quite active and I wouldn't be surprised if that's how the Park learned of these bolts. (I recently heard a rumor that I bolted routes and sold the FAs for profit, which is patently false. But people, some of them my friends, believed it. That's how Fayetteville works sometimes and, frankly, I think it sucks.) However, the route in question is also the single most prominent moderate route in the entire region. It sits within 50 meters of parking in a climbing area frequented by climbers and tourists alike. Rangers walk under it multiple times per day. Almost everybody who enters the gorge proper passes within sight of it.
Thank you for pointing out the link error, BTW. I edited the OP.
