    I was up there with a bunch of Albany climbers a couple of months back and found that expansion bolt on the slab on our way to central gully.it wasn’t half pulled out that is how it was placed with just the start of the bolt in and most of the bolt hanging out there were strike marks on the top looks like someone put in the wrong sized hole and tried to mash it in like a carrot.we thought it a joke that was not funny.one of our guys lacking the right tools bent it over so it could not be used as you would surely plummet to your death.we will pull it properly and patch the hole when we go back in march.there is a obvious hand crack to protect the access to central gully 10ft from that bolt.crazy stuff
