I agree- keep Frenchmans bolt free. (Recent grid bolting at Kaputar has soured my belief in "self regulation"). There must be areas that are kept bolt free (except perhaps rap stations- not at Frenchmans- but other Tassie bolt free crags spring to mind)
Neilo, how less deadly and interesting would Electra have been without the 20 metre run outs on pitch 2 and the deadly down climb and traverse off before rapping from a chockstone?? And yeah, we might have bemoaned being stuck in wet cracks on Chimes while the rock all around had dried out and looked amazing, but it was a great days climbing, and such great photos of misery in the sleet! Far more memaorable than low stress clip ups. Its a world heritage area. It can do without bolts. |
