Assume this is the same guy as in this article https://www.ukclimbing.com/news/2007/07/us_bolt_chopper_banned_by_judge_from_chopping_bolts-38849
Just want to check as it seems like he's quite a controversial character.
If you click on the link to Ken Nichols in the Climbing article on the repeat of Great Wall: https://www.climbing.com/travel/gunks-traverse-repeated/ it goes to the climber of the same name who has climbed Dol Guldur 10 000 times and is a notorious bolt chopper: https://www.climbing.com/news/ken-nichols-10-000th-ascent-of-511/
Seems to me like they are the same person.
I vaguely had him on my radar, I've filled out his profile a little, he certainly sounds like quite a character. Also, nice to be able to cite the Guinness book of records!
Nice one, thanks Duncan. Sounds a bit like an anti-Gary Gibson, good job those two never lived nearby.
