Closing Routes (once again)
like I said Art, just one more reason why we keep cliffs secret in a small group until we are done equipping them. I am currently working on such a case, but now refuse to publicize it until we are done playing there. nothing special, but don't want drama from those who "insist" in their right to set a timeline.caribe wrote:Opinion is 3:2 on this????

The only real problem I have with red tagging is the potential for abuse. Luckily there are a relatively small number of bolters now and they don't do anything too ridiculous.
But I could easily see a day where you've got a bunch of bolters that start using bolting/tagging as a way of reserving a route for future use.
Say I spot a bunch of cool lines that I either know I'm not strong enough to do, or know I won't be around to do for a while, but I want to make sure that I get the FA, so I bolt them and tag them with the sole intent of working on them 2-5 years down the road. Is that a problem? Maybe not if one guy does it, but what if 10 people do it?
