Yeah. All bolts gone. Anchor gone, but the 3 bolt Stanley Extension to the anchor of Ginger Snap is still there, and Ginger Snap anchor is still there.
Who does this?

Let me get this straight - we got guys chopping legit routes and guys adding bolts to legit routes, right?

The bottom bolts on Ginger Snap have been chopped years ago for some reason.
Ginger Snap had a chiseled enhanced finger pocket at the bottom crux made.
When did Chips Ahoy get chopped?

The situation in the Valley is getting ridiculous.
They really need to pass a law that requires a background check - including a thorough search for any history of mental illness - before they allow someone to buy a bolt gun. Or a chisel.
Who does this?
Well, either a certain notorious person, or perhaps someone he has inspired with his narcissistic anarchy. It is quite likely that with all the talk in the Valley of "Monkey calls" and "Monkeys are sending", there is someone out there who is operating according to the dictum of, "Monkey see / Monkey do".

Was really worried my favorite cookies went bankrupt.
What a relief it's only some dumb dumb rock climb. Aren't there a bunch of climbs already? You climbers are so greedy needing to climb every inch of the rock face. I thought we had gyms so you didn't have to do that dangerous stuff.
THE CHOCOLATY CHIPS DELISHISH!

Chips Ahoy has been there a long time and is/was very popular climb.
Nobody is being greedy.
I'm wondering why someone would go thru this kind of trouble on an established old route that's been around for years.

Chips Ahoy is that arete-ish thing left of America's Cup etc.? That thing is killer! Hopefully someone will fill the holes…maybe they're just in between phases.
WTF??

Then how do you explain this?
looks like all the climbing you'll ever need to do no need to unnecessarily scar the cliff face with pitons and clips anymore than they are!

Does anyone know if the bolts were just removed or were they broken off in the hole?

I really dont care- but Swan Slab is full of young kids and new climbers learning the sport. I used to pass many there after a day of work. I always enjoyed seeing the smiles on peoples faces as they pushed their boundaries.
whats greedy is having fat tourists misriding broken mules for money while they defecate all over the trail

Swan slab has the best climbing in the valley, bar none. When you consider approach and difficulties involved, El Cap is basically a choss pile far from the road for aid climbers. Lenas Lieback is where its at!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like no one knows anything.
I was hoping to figure out who it was and why.
End of thread as far as I'm concerned.
