James wrote (could we get a 'quote' function added to the forum?): "[...]surely there's enough climbs out there to leave some as 'dangerous' leads (just note them as such). Aren't there enough 'safe' routes round??"
I've often thought that myself. If I come across a climb that is ridiculously run out between bolts, or has the first bolt WAY above the ground, my first thought is not "Must see if we can get this climb retro-bolted", but "Oh well - I'll find something else to climb." Or I'll pre-clip the first bolt (I am not a grade-ticker, and don't stress about whether or not I managed to onsight/redpoint/whatever the route). There are a zillion 'safe' routes about, as James said. |
