Repeat and retrobolt best easy route at Buffalo 6-Mar-2008 At 3:53:15 PM jgoding

Hi Neil,

I wasn't specifically referring to easy routes. There are some moderate and hard routes which men
much harder than me refuse to do. Specifically Just as one example a route was put up by HB that
Steve
Monks refused to climb until the bolting was improved. There are a bunch of grade 18's that I would
also suggest fall into the vague
category I've suggested exists at Buffalo (run-out horror shows). Most of them are by friends who I
respect greatly and would prefer to speak to about it on a route by route instance rather than in this
forum.

I suggest you check out the area in more detail and get familiar with the history and extensive
research I've done before you go pointing the finger. The whole point I was trying to make is that we
went to a lot of trouble to establish the existing lines and thought that we were well clear of them,
hence your comment is obsolete.

Further - it's been pretty annoying that the routes were not shown correctly in the current guide. If they
had been this situation could have been avoided because it was certainly not my intention to put
myself in this position.
