Hi Jack,
Perhaps a climbing ban for a while wouldn't be so bad. It might deter irresponsible bolters and I wouldn't be averse to revisiting the tactics of the '70's.
Surprised you didn't mention this forum to me. I can only assume that you thought that my poor old heart wouldn't stand the strain! Phil Armstrong sent me a link. Still… It gladdens my heart to see that there are still a few climbers around that still appreciate the 'trad ethic'. When I read about the bolts on Iconoclast I could only think that Brian would turn in his grave… Anyway, I'll email Mark and Paul B with a link to this forum. Perhaps you could let me know contact details for Animal if you have them. I'm sure he'd have something to say!
