Should trad lines be "closed" as a personal project?

No. Never.

No. More climbers makes the FA even sweeter.

It's a trad line and anyone is free to send it. When you put a bolt in it ,it's then a mixed line and you just brought it down to your level. Mixed is acceptable and common. I was told to shut up and get over it if my line got skanked so I think tags are a bunch of shit unless it's the property owners idea. Then of course they should be respected.

I think it depends if you are a "local" or not. :twisted:

Trad Granddaddy has spoken. 'Nuf said.

I think you shouldn't get the FA unless you do a nude on-sight solo. Otherwise it's just another crack.

Regardless of all that, trad climbers are still stupid.
