THE AUSTRALIAN RE, RETRO-BOLTING OPEN FORUM 13-Apr-2004 At 2:24:33 PM hex-TROLL

A5--- it is the LIMITATIONS of the aus grading system that is a ' generating ' so much retro-bolting in this country !

Like Steve Monks once said : " In Australia you pretty much place bolts where-ever they are ' needed ' ... "

If XI becomes 18 E3 (for rough example ) , those experiencing a bit of ' irrational exuberance ' , at the start of a fine , sunny Araps day , might well indeed choose to ' go and climb one of the other 2000+ routes on offer ' ; and then come back for the ' challenge ' once they get their brain around the situation ...

Kickin' out of a 10 second cauldron-barrel & headin' for the summit...

Luv HEX.
