Tiger Wall - Dribble Bolting? 13-Aug-2009 At 1:02:06 PM Dave J

I think its a fair call about the bolts in this case (regardless of what Simon says).

Yes arapiles is a mixed crag. Plenty of routes there have bolts and plenty dont. Maybe it should be
looked at on a route by route basis. Once a bolt or pin added then you might as well have 2 if thats going
to make a big difference but, if a route can be done without fixed gear at all (and it sounds like this one
can), then that is worth aspiring to. I actually think the bolt at the bottom of surface to air is a better case
for bolting than it sounds like this is.

And what is a route with scrappy rock at arapiles doing getting 2 stars? Why would you even climb a
route at arapiles with scrappy rock?...unless it had something to do with adventure...in which case surely
you would have more of that without the bolts.
