Which ironically is probably the reason behind the Victorian tradition of mixed gear and bolt routes in the first place: the rock for the most part takes great gear, but every now and then requires a bolt to keep things safe/sane/sensible etc. I wouldn't put myself squarely in the pro-bolting lobby (even though I've done a bit of it), but I do think the Victorian ethic of mixed routes is worth preserving.
