I'm assuming that you probably know the culprit doesn't lurk here on Summitpost, so I'm wondering about the rant.

Also, this from Mountain Project: "Barber has pleaded for years to remove the bolts and finally returned in the summer of 2011 and removed them; as they were not added by him or with his permission."

Sounds pretty apt to me.

Edit: That's Henry Barber, BTW.

They should call the pople that do this Bobbitts. I found this on that there Wiki thing.

After assaulting the "route," Lorena left the "base" with the severed "bolt", drove a short while, then rolled down the car window and threw the "bolt" into a field. Realizing the severity of the incident, she stopped and called 911. After an exhaustive search, the "bolt" was located, packed in ice, and taken to the "base"l

Well, if anyone has the Bully Pulpit on this one, its Henry Barber.
