Faded for a bit from the thread, but is it still the same deal - 168 posts and still no clear and explicit statement about exactly what the fuss is about?

what im smoking
is my dreams, son.
i've been sittin in this
way too comfortable chair
pushing a mouse and carressing
keys since 2 am yesterday.
a little sleep was had
but it was chronically infared.
and i've met some unrealistic
deadline (kinda like a speed ascent but
instead speed calculations of stress-strain analysis)
and now im crackin
a couple of sierra nevada canned pale ales
and its raining outside
and i've got ink on my fingertips
which im inhaling
and the water jug is empty
and my wife is ovulating.
devil-speed and i'm freed.

Weeg translator:
Some over zealous egos got carried away with bolting.
Some visitors don't mind, some do, and considered it something like rape.
Someone that didn't like it decided to send a message.
The bolters want to be compensated for their chopped bolts.
Weeg has been accused because he has been outspoken in his dislike of said bolting.
There were apparently threats made.
Don't go to Weeg's house with your accusations or bad things will happen.
The bolter and the chopper could meet at the base with hammers at five paces, but we don't know who they are.....

I understand how Sugarloaf was the bee's knees back in the day. All the hard boys from around town came and did the classics, and even got spit out on the roof.
But, did you guys plan on doing something else on those obscure boulders?
I don't agree that Chimney's should be bolted if they've been done without bolts. But some do...
That 5.0 with Petch's daughter soloing while petch is clearly standing up is a joke and should be pulled and filled.
There are enough good face climbs on Sugarloaf, that couldn't really be done without bolts. I don't see a problem with those staying, even if they weren't originally done back in the late 1800's by Rick Sumner.

I also noticed quite a bit of new gardening while I was up there last week. The tree at the base of harding's/fang was cut down. I'm sure it was dead or dying or whatever, but chopping it down with a chainsaw Is questionable practice IMO.

I don't know anything about bolted boulders at Sugarloaf, I haven't been there in 30 years or so.

At least I don't have worry about my rope getting stuck in that tree anymore, what ever would I do:-)
Zach, it was there when we did harding's, wasn't it? Was that in December?
