Is there anywhere else a person can climb moderates for 6 years and not do all of them?

haas, if there ain't bolts, it ain't climbing. how do you guys toprope routes that long anyway?

toproping ain't a problem. We get some dumb traddie to drag up 9 ropes on their "easy" route, then we tie all the ropes together for the sport routes. Then the team of belayers switch back and forth to pass the knot. It took some getting use to but I've dialed the system.
