I had that same thing happen to me... for ten years, it was assumed I chopped a local route, even though I had nothing to do with it. Assumptions suck.

I chopped a route once, when I was young & not too bright. Wish I hadn't, even tho we
climbed it without the bolts. I'm sure the next party put them back.
Prolly not the route the OP has so vaguely in mind, however.

Lots of glue around Bluey.... the Bolt Hold on Midnight Lightning is glued..... tons of stuff all over the place.... famous stuff.... stuff you would never think of.....
Glued holds on blank rock have even been removed with a pistol and a 12'er by guys on this very forum! The dark underbelly is slowly being exposed......

Sorry Chirpy... my "ignore" button has neutralized you. It's a shame too, as you were showing some promise early on in your posting career.

I chopped a new route on the weeping wall as the first ascent team was still finishing the last pitch.
