Who's line is it?

Placing a cam? Slotting a nut? Slinging a tree?

Just clarifying. I still hold that this is a bolted crack and therefore a detriment to the climbing community.

Why doesn't everyone just rack-up with these?

I doubt that that thing would hold up anywhere near as long as a bolt does.

If you think that is a bolted crack, you haven't been to a certain crag with a 90 foot bolted dihedral.
Skipping cruxes is a way of life.

I have. I may be wrong, but I didn't think it would protect well. Russ and Jeff would have tied Piggy down and if that could go on gear.

I think he's talking about Hog Gap, not A6.

There's lots of bolted trad lines in HG... it's hard to narrow it down :(
