i think on-site soloing would be the only logical choice, the rest is just childs play.

you rapped it? you fucking fag. might as well bolt the whole thing. besides, it's not like it's going to be all that good anyway. just another pile of shit trad route in the red.

question? What is the difference between a trad route, a gear route and a mixed route? In my head all three are different..

trad and gear route would be the same and mixed would have some form of fixed pro, bolt, pin etc.

So a route (at the Red) that is a crack climb with a bolted anchor is a trad line? And a route (at the Red) that is a crack that tops out is also a trad line? A mixed line (at the Red) would be one of the above routes with a fixed piece of gear?

Wait...is a cam that is stuck in a crack fixed gear? Or how about a nut that is stuck in a crack, is that fixed gear?

rhunt...
good questions all...but remember pigsteak corollary 31-a
"real climbers don't climb trad at the Red"
so it is really a non-issue.
ho, yes, i rapped it to chop all the bolts so i could lead it in a "more noble" fashion....after rapping it, i realized that it might be a tad harder than i first thought....but i'll be damned if i re-install the bolts.
