>>>bolted routes at Ben Lomond...

I prefer to call my spiritual transformation of the 'local ' reality , a ' QUALITY semi-bolted adventure route ' ...

: D

... I also prefer to call my two lil ' safety facilitators ' ... ' carrots ' ....

>>>and have not been for 30 odd years.

Errrrr .... wasnt there some bolted abseil anchors a while ago ?? : Doesnt Fantini's monstrosities count as BIG HOLLOW FKN BOLTS ???

>>>Therefore the local ethic is no bolting....

Therefore ur facts are wrong .... twice ...............and like it or not ... a new wave of climbing history has already eeeeaaaaased its way forward .... gently carressing the remoter , exsquiste areas of Ben ... .... and I say again ... common sense and RESPECT ... will dictate where ADVENTURE climbing stops and ' sport ' climbing starts ....

>>>You never placed any bolts from *a* skyhook....

Well thats sort of right and sort of wrong ... I snapped a skyhook once .... so I always use two ...

>>>In fact, you never climbed any new routes there at all.

In ur jaded dreams , my friend ...................

>>>You are a liar.

Yeah...well ... ppl have been saying that for the last 2000 years ...

>>>Your opinion is worthless.

I deal in facts ......... I would love to hear the ' opinions ' .... from Joe Friend , Wayne Stevens , Bob Stazooski ....(and even Mick Ling , whose mind was blown , when he did a repeat ascent of Pedraic Pearse) ... about wot they think of wots going on at Fingal these days ...............

...AND I am confident that they would approve of my sensible / sensitive / discrete placement of my two .... " HELLoooOOOOoooo !!!! "... two ...ADVENTURE carrots at Ben ...
