Have you climbed in Europe, Marty? Giant glue-in anchors all coming down to one worn ring. Same folks think that any mechanical bolt is sketchy and only glue-ins are "good bolts." I really don't get it either.

I once came to a belay in Les Calanqes (France) where I could, no joke, have clipped perhaps a dozen bolts, of vintages ranging back perhaps 40 years. I sure wish I'd had my camera with me.
