You could fix the problem too.

Thanks Simon. Yes, great idea. I will probably do that when I next return to the area. I don't usually carry a drill on an after-work climbing outing. It seemed on balance to be better to alert anyone trying the route that the bolt is dangerous than leave it. Many people visit Britten having only climbed in a gym and are not alert to the hazards of poorly placed bolts and loose nuts.

The bolt has now been replaced and should be safer now. When I wiggled the old bolt a 1cm think flake fell out from where the hanger had been sitting...
We took the hanger off the third bolt of the climb Steel River. Next to Scrap Merchant. The climb is not listed here but it's in Tony Burnell's guide. The bolt is wiggly in the rock and looks like it could easily break out. The hanger and nut have been left tied to the first bolt to await replacement.
I'm fairly sure there's only one route ("The Unclimbed Crack") between "Off the Shelf" and "Legends in the Baking" - "Off the Shelf" and "Revived 45" look like two descriptions of the same climb.
