I agree. We build ski lifts for crissake! Chopping bolts only leads to re-bolting and further damage. Once it's placed, it's done.

The only excpetion I can think of is a line of bolts next to a 5.7 hand crack. That would be tempting, but even then. I realize it's not a black and white issue, but blueeyed is right in this case.

Edited to add: Everyone can find a loophole in someone else's theories. I always thought it was interesting that Mark Twight was anti-bolt....as he was riding around on the lifts to routes in Chamonix...
