Retrobolting at Bungonia 27-Jun-2012 At 10:49:58 PM muki

Im so glad nm is bolting away madly in the Glueys and not here in the gramps any more.
but I find it interesting that now M9 is questioning his bolting ethic as being biased.
and even ODH is having a crack at him about all the steel going in in Nowra,
others are seeing the light, i got personal mails from people overseas in america asking why I was upset about all the bolts being put in by nm (you know who you are)
I love trad, will climb on bolts if the climbing is something special, once in Utah the best climb i did was on blue grama and was a bolted! but the climbing was amazing!
Ill say it again not everything un-protectable with trad needs to be bolted, there are some climbs by nm in the gramps that are complete and utter dross.
So why do people climb these steaming piles?......because they are bolted and easy.
