Poll: Retrobolting Trad lines?	26-Jul-2014 At 12:02:43 PM	hughsut

People should consider a lot of different factors before bolting a route. One such factor is "Is the line protectable on natural gear?" Someone might be trying it as a trad climb. It might be hard to tell as there is usually little or no trace. My advice to someone that wants to bolt a potential trad climb is as follows: "Don't bolt it. If you must climb the line, then Top rope it. If you must lead it, do it on pre-placed gear. If the gear is too far apart, use long slings. Some people consider these to be less pure styles of climbing, but it is better than bolting a trad climb, especially if someone has been trying the line ground up on gear."
