When is a project open? 9-Nov-2004 At 7:02:15 PM Neil C

First of all I have bolted many routes. I just don't get caught up in the ego of it all. You say it doesn't matter to someone else who flashes your project and it's just another notch in their belt. What if it's below your limit and you just haven't gotten around to it. Is someone else alowed to try it and possibly get something greater from it. And genrally rod where talking quite down the track of having tried the project. If you've been on the project more than five days chances are your not going to find a secret intermediate edge in the middle of the crux. I still fail to understand the importance of gaining the first accent. How about if the bolter gets to name the route. What left other than your name in the history books is there?
