Repeat and retrobolt best easy route at Buffalo 7-Mar-2008 At 10:24:45 AM WM

K - lets keep it civil. There is no basis for casting aspersions such as "moving topo lines to make room for new routes". And the Grollo reference isn't funny anymore

Joe followed "the protocol" to the letter, he telegraphed his intentions very clearly (as only Joe can!!) and could hardly have given the FAs more opportunity to clarify where routes go. He followed their wishes about not retrobolting existing lines.

Its no secret that Buffalo has a complete lack of beginner routes. Establishing beginner routes is not to Joe's personal benefit considering he climbs well into the 20s. he is thinking of others. If I had the time and inclination I might bolt any particular route slightly differently to Joe but his approach is also entirely reasonable.
