Everyone is thinking about this as a sport climber doing a bolted line on a gear b/c it was an "easy" route comparatively. Everyone is saying blah blah... any chuffer could do a 5.6 bolted line using hooks taped to the jugs... blah blah. This wasnt an ego thing, it wasnt about doing a sport route on gear. It was seeing a beautiful line that happened to be bolted, looking at the features of the rock, vertical seam, to a horizontal crack, to a continuous water groove. And i was inspired to do it on gear, and it was all there, and it wasnt some contrived bullshit like i was soloing the route basically and sticking shitty gear in stupid places.
So thats it!! i was inspired to do something in a better style and willing to take the risks to do it, so i did!!
Its really that simple!!
Alot you people seem to enjoy bickering via your computers and posting your same opinion over and over and over....
So maybe ill go chop the bolts, and go find other routes that go cleanly on gear and chop those bolts.
And then you can something to do!!!!!!!!
Something to drone on and on an on about on the internet!!!
If anyone has a problem with anything i do i'd rather you tell me to my face, or sucker punch me in the back of the head at least, it would be better than having to read all that......

Hey Sandman you got more stones than me.
Next time though, I hope you think twice about coming on here and posting your adventures and then becoming all offended when you read all the fall-out. That's how stuff happens on here.
Its best to keep your spray limited to your spray list. Otherwise you'll get accused of being on an ego trip.

Re: blah
as far as style I would classify 'better' as only an opinion,Sandman wrote: i was inspired to do something in a better style......
insert 'different' maybe...
(and for those are offended by my comment I purposely gave you 'insert' for your retort...you know, 'i got something you can insert' or 'insert this' or 'hmm, wouldn't that make a good insert," you get the picture)
Pick myself up, stop lookin' back.
