I disagree with making Rosea entirely bolt free... No-where else in the Grampians has this ethic, and you would be removing a few routes at the harder grades. Although we should certainly adhere to the mixed nature of grampians climbing - and be strict about bolts where there is trad gear available.
I spent a day on the LHS a little while ago, and while there were no bolted anchors, a lot of routes do not go to the top of the cliff (or at least, many shouldn't); you just find a tree or leave a sling... not really a problem as few people go there - but it's not just a case of "there's an easy walk-down, take it". |
