Hey! Don't put that railing in the same camp as the bolts. I have rapped off that railing! It is solid, and I say thanks to the people that put it up.
About this debate: welcome to France, where all cracks are bolted. I have never placed a bolt myself, but I don't climb hard enough to warrant one. If I see a bolt on a trad route, I just don't clip it if I have the gear.
I would chop any bolts retro-fitted on an existing trad route, but Sean Th. was the one putting up the route, so it is his call in light of what he saw.
