Yep, those bolts were added a few years ago, along with one bolted station on Tunnel Vision, 3 on Olive Oil, and a few others. Joanne Urioste added bolts to her own route Hot Fudge Thursday and told everyone about it; the others are 'who knows?'

Everyone I've heard respects Joanne's public announcement about changing her own route's fixed pro. As far as the others - the station on Tunnel Vision lasted a couple years before being chopped. The days are likely numbered on the others - it's up to the local community.

I remember that bolt from 3 years ago on Ginger C. I love RR more than any other place.

I do hope that people don't go hog wild choping bolts though. I hate to see bolts in spots that don't call for them(I did clip that one on GC), but I hate to see them choped, it scars the rock more than just leaving it in.
