Greg, bolts, pins, and other fixed gear resident as of 1987 or 89 (I think) can remain or be replaced. The Preserve bolt anchors are installed and maintained by the Preserve. All else is fair game for removal. It's not that a good webbing anchor here or there is a problem but rather that webbing anchors tend to reproduce like Tribbles and sometimes, as they age, are about as reliable as Yugos. It really does become cliff trash.
It is my opinion, in keeping with a sort of home rule, that gunks local residents, every day climber types, should be making decisions about manky anchor removal, rather than weekenders. It's not as though we come down to the city and tell city folk about how or whether to set their blankies out to reserve spots for the movies in Bryant Park.
