im aganst bolting because of a bunch of resions but the one that pisses me off the most is when it's un nessaserey like that bolt i found some where right next to a nice number 7or 8 nut placement whiy i will agrey how ever in a bolt being some where where it's just blanke and theres no pro in reach (not just i can find aney place a bolt you do have to look) and i also think that on the topick of re bolting fix all the f...ed bolts just dont bugger it up aney moor and do not place aney bolts on aney climbs that have been climbed before with out them!!

there are peopple around now wanting everything bolted to make it easer fore them, esentualey make it all just like indoor lead wall to that i say poo climbing shouldnt be about showing off but having fun and the sprit of it all.

it's not realey tred climbers going bush bash it's all climberes that dont give a crap (like the scigret buts)

im goint to stop now and saugest that a new forem sechion is started "enviramentle impacts" and mabby every one can have there vues and mabby arfter a year or 2 we can put to gather a coad of cunduct that in cliusd bolting and tred climbing to gather.
