Granted - they maybe a case for bolting when there are safety issues, marginal placements, suspect rock, environmental issues etc.
This is about CONVENIENCE and dumbing it down.
We built TWO SERENE ANCHORS and placed the gear for 4 MORE ANCHORS all at the back of the ledge and within 3m radius of the bolts.
This is the same as the new bolted anchors placed in the Northern group, convenience and nothing else.
This is just a debate, and in my opinion, if a person can build half a dozen strong anchors on a ledge that has been recently bolted, the bolts should at least be questioned. |
