I wouldn't normaly enter into a topic like this but i find it hard not to in this case.

I have only been climbing for 12 months or so but like the history and the culture behind the "old School"

Replacing carrots with rings i guess you could look at it as "do u still use rigid friends or the new modern versions?"

The addition of bolts on the other hand could be like me getting out a concrete saw and cutting in some new horizontel breaks in a TRAD route cause i think its not well enough protected... I wonder if the people agreeing with the new botls would be against me doing that.... Just something to ponder.

Isnt there plenty of "SAFE" climbs already in the area?
