Hey Boby, count all the replys that agree strongly with you....or even just agree !
Then count all the replys who don't really give a stuff about your 80's Gritstone Ethics.
I for one find it comical that you puff yourself up about this! on a regular basis it seems.
Arapiles has had bolts placed on its climbs since the early beginings of climbing here.
On both mostly traditional climbs as well as sport climbs.
I agree with the placement of these particular bolts.
So do many others like myself who have climbed here at the mount for many years.
People who have been involved in the replacement of bad fixed gear and the instalation of new fixed gear on the climbs that we put up at the piles.
And as a member of the ARG cliff rescue I also agree with the bolts, it's bad rock up that end of tiger wall, and I would rather enjoy the climbing, than have to go and scrape up some beginners who did not have the experience to realise that the many traditional placements available at the belay that simey installed were mostly in shit rock.

As I have said before.......go and climb in shefield, it suits your style and ethical stance.
