Hocking Hills re-bolting....

Hocking Hills Ohio rockclimbing area there is a really popular area called Rectangle Rock. There are a couple/few rusted old bolts providing a "safe" access up to the top to set up top-ropes. I don't use them anymore because I don't trust them. I wanted to chop them and put up two new/better placed bolts to protect the 5.8 free solo that I don't enjoy doing. Anyone have any feelings on this proposal? I would contact the rangers to get permission of course, before I did it. Thanks in advance for any suggestions/ other ideas....

Someone left a rope ladder on the backside of that block... Now that thing is sketchy! I guide out at the Hocking Hills and would appreciate some new bolts being put in... At the sametime those bolts that are there... are probably alright. I say if you want to drill, put some on the face of rectangle block so we can lead some lines!
