thank god hard climbers would never do anything like that - those damn bumbly enviro vandals ... (been to the glen lately?) better keep them in the gym where they can do less damage

How is it ok to sink steel and create paths etc for hard climbers not bumblies? Let's extend the argument for those who tick plus 30 and say there's no excuse for bolted grade 25s because you should just climb trad if you want easy ticks like that ... and everyone knows the quality goes through the roof at grade 30 ...

As others have said the bolted route this thread is about is on poxy rock on what is pretty much the walk in to the crag it's not like someone bolted the slab between Eternity and Joseph ... oh wait a minute ...
