I was out at Rocky Butte at the top of Breakfast Cracks, and noticed a couple of the routes at the north end of the crag have been chopped. I don't care if you had a bad day on those routes, but no reason to take out your aggression at not being able to climb by chopping anchors on any route. If they were unsafe(I have used them recently, they were fine) then you should have replaced them, not just chopped them. I could replace them, I have the gear, if I didn't think someone out there just has a beef against bolted routes or something. Anyone with info on the reasons behind this damage to the routes, let me know.

Dude! someone does have a problem with bolted anchors
at the butte!
Me and my friends have been climbing out there
for years, and some asshole started chopping bolts
about 2 years ago.
My buddy and I, replaced all of the anchors at the breakfast cracks
just last summer, and we came out to climb 1 week later,
and the dick had chopped all of them!
Then we just drilled new holes, and the prick filled
in the holes with apoxy!
So anyway, theres a hole bunch of us rocky butte
old school crowd who would just love to catch
this asshole in action. :evil:
