thats the most ridiculous statement in this thread "If you don't like them don't clip them"
-regardless of whether one clips the bolts or not, they still exist
-so if I grid bolt Muldoon, thats OK, you don't have to clip them
-if I graffiti on the rock, thats OK, you don't have to read it.

you may be happy to take someones word, re-read the thread, you can build half a dozen seperate anchors on this ledge - hence no need for bolts.

Unfortauntely there will be more deaths at Arapiles, but that is life and that is climbing.
define "safe as possible"? that is a ridiculous statement
people make their own decisions to climb and know the risks - I didn't clip the bolts and it wasn't unsafe. |
