Dangerous Bolts at Red Rocks

I Just returned from Red Rocks.  I climbed some routes with some really bad bolts.  The Trophy cliff was the worst.  The Trophy, Pet Shop Boys, and Twilight of a Champion all had dangerous bolts with loose nuts and hangers ready to come off.  I spun the second bolt of Twilight of a Champion in its hole by hand and nearly yanked it out of its  hole cleaning the route.  I replace bad bolts at Rifle, my home crag, so I feel justified in saying some Vegas locals need to step up and do some crag maintenance.  Otherwise, some unsuspecting sport climbing recreationalist like myself is going to hit the deck.  The routes at Red Rocks are awesome and worth the effort necessary to keep them safe.  Someone get out there and sink a fat bolt into that soft sandstone.  It's the right thing to do.
I noticed some very bad bolts when I was there as well. Mainly anchors. I noticed that the chains on a lot of anchors were very close to wearing through and need to be replaced. You should look up Gary Savage on Mountain Project. He is a local.
