We could just hang ladders from the anchors of all the routes. That might be even safer.

I know a few people who do not post on this board that have climbed Valor several times.

aaron, what do you mean when you say the route is "dirty"?

I think you just made in more dangerous, now less experenced people will get on it and fall. I also think that more people get on it than you think. Not to mention the dangerous example retro bolting sets

I know several people that have been on it...the thing that made this climb worth doing is the protection and the fact that it is always open. You know the name has to be changed now….how about “pussy willow” or “striped of valor” or “down to your level”

how about "quit yer whining"..if you want to still lead it on trad, get to it..no one is making you clip the bolts...

by that logic why don't we just bolt all the cracks at the red that way anyone can climb them
