POLL You should put up climbs for other people ??? 29-Mar-2007 At 6:45:27 PM Ronny

What exactly does this poll mean?

What if I see a nice line, generally well protected, but with a run out section. It would likely only become a trade route at the grade with a bolt. But I think it would be fun like it is. I think about the other people I know, and think they'd probably enjoy it that way too. Then I think about the people who would only climb it with the bolt, and look around and see loads of other routes that those people can do at the grade.

So I think "I'm going to put the climb up in the run out state for the benefit of all those people who would enjoy climbing it in that way, and the majority of people who could physically climb it but won't, will have to find something else".

Does that come under the banner of putting up climbs for other people?

On the assumption that it does, I'm voting yes.
