Follows certain rules like

• Line of the original route is not altered.
• Routes and single pitches done ‘clean’ on original route (using nuts, friends, threads etc.) are not rebolted.
• Routes are not neutralized by additional bolts.
• Difficulty of the route is not altered through rebolting measures.
