Bolting on lead 19-Mar-2007 At 5:26:50 PM Ronny

It seems to me that placing bolts on lead is done for an entirely different purpose than rap bolting, so the considerations are different. I get the feeling that bolts placed on lead are generally done for the sole purpose of protecting that ascent, so bolts that don't last are not a problem.

Placing bolts on rap there's no excuse for this as you have the time and ability to place bolts that are in the right place and will last.

Maybe the answer is just use small crap carrots that are quick to place for your ascent, and if you're concerned about leaving behind something that may be of use to others, rap back down, rip them out and replace them with good ones.

I've never done it though - so don't listen to me...
