I think for me, that trad climbing is more about the adventure, i go trad climbing becasue its more about the scariness and having to place your own gear, you loose that with ring bolts, and at least if there is a carrot on a mixed route, yo still have that kind of effect of placing something still, the plate over the carrot.

it all adds to the "trad" experience when you drop your last bolt plate and have to use wires over the bolt heads.


just to add tho, when im climbing sport routes and wanting to climb well above my grade, i like climbing on rings over carrots any day.
