Im with Neil,Gerry etc.
Sport and bolting go together,Trad and long runouts,high exposure,adventurous lines, long slippery decent gullys and an extreme level of mental clarity/strength are part of traditional climbing.If there is a way off the rock/mountain other than using a rap then we all have a duty to use it.If an absail is the only way,this is when i feel rap bolts are justified.Climbing is not about conveinience ,easy acces etc if you want bolt clipping then quite simply DONT climb at Trad areas.
