I got 3/4 of the way up before I remembered it was a trad line and I had a job to do that I was ignoring. Good thing it's easy.ynot wrote:... Fadda is an exception.

Is nothing safe from the drill? Shall we do away with R rated climbs? What will become of the bold ascent? is that when you only stick clip the first?ahab wrote:the guy asks about the future of route deveolpment in the red and the next thing you know cracks are getting bolted!
I don't know...it was pretty idle insomniac thinking. Truth was, I was reading this book called Cradle to Cradle (worth the read) and was thinking about preservation issues, and then was fondly remembering the routes I put up in the red and one thing led to another...pigsteak wrote:is this answering your question schwag? or are you getting at something like this...I walk up to a cliff, one where we have access. I spot a beautiful area with potential for 10-15 sport lines. But then I gaze into the future, and see climbers fifty years from now enjoying that process of developing, so instead of throwing in some bolts, I call together a band of brothers, and hasten them to save this crag for future generations..is that along the lines of your thinking?
Okay you two with your, aesthetics and ethics. Do I have to remind you where the door is? , well, do I?Myke Dronez wrote:Is nothing safe from the drill? Shall we do away with R rated climbs?

Depends on your protection skills. I think American Wall can be easily overprotected. I've placed something like 23 different pieces, all solid, on that route, just to see how many I could use...ynot wrote:Because bolting a whole protectable crack is lame. A protectable face could go either way. Most of them I have done didn't protect that well. Face Farce American Wall and the one up at Purple come to mind. Fadda is an exception.
