bolts for boulders

Innocent subjects that took a turn for the worst.

Is it cool to pop in a bolt (w/ red tag) below the starting holds of a boulder problem to make sure posers, gumbies, and noobs don't poach your proj?

yeah brah! it's your nature, why not let the noobs know?

I would use small bolts, but put a whole ladder of them from bottom to top, a three bolt anchor, red tag and tickmark all the little midget holds. that should make your point

preemptive welcoming is one of the side effects of always knowing you're doing right thing, which is, of course, predicated on being a white-american-hetero-male rockclimber.

tell ya what, switch 'american' and 'hetero' drop the 'rockclimber' (we all know boulderers aren't real climbers anyway) and it would tidy up real nice. hmm, on second thought…not so much.
