Should you put climbs up for others? 20-Apr-2007 At 7:21:04 AM monty

hey bomber pro i am very new to this so my views are somewhat biased towards beginners but i thank you, for with that bolt i could attempt that climb and know that if my questionable gear placement that restricts me from pushing the comfort zone blows that bolt will save my life and i wil get to go home to see my family and not die from participating in a recreational activity i am not saying there should be bolts all over the climbs but to people climbing at my level they are a godsend i always try to climb within my comfort zone but on a few occasions i have started up what looked like an easy climb ( grade 11 ) then half way up struggled to find gear placement or the only gear you can get in a tiny little nuts and at 100 plus kilos its not a very comforting thought falling onto these or having a horror show run out 7 meters above your last hopefully bomber piece any way thank you for not only thinking of people such as myself but for using your own cash to do this and i guess its a case of damned if you do damned if you dont
thanks bomber pro
warm regards simon
