What is worse than bolting a trad line? Chopping the bolts off after in the name of ethics.
That really pisses me off. I mean the damage is done. Chopping the bolts doesnt remove the damage and leads to more damage with no purpose and the original bolter will probably come back and re bolt it making a second set of holes and do more damage etc.. Give the person a rark up and stop them from doing it again but just let it be.

Throwing a tanty and breaking holds cause someone stole your project is also COMPLETELY INEXCUSABLE. GROW UP!!!!

Someone mentioned that they dont like preplaced gear or leading something with the draws on but then went on the say that they would top rope instead. Whats the difference. Infact i would consider it better "style" to lead something on preplaced gear than to top rope. But style is style and is personal preference. as long as you arent damageing the enviroment unnessesarily in the process.
