I was dubbed “kamikaze Aussie” cos to shut them up I said I’d lead every pitch as opposed to swing leads. I was told that night that it was a disgrace that the bolts weren’t 2m apart and they with all their experience (eg I had to remind them of how to get safe and set up belay at a bolt anchor on a multipitch route) wanted to come back and retro the route we retreated off cos of rain.

Just keep 'em away from the Blueys, as they might become indistinguishable from the new breed sport climbers up there, and you'd be blamed for losing them!
Heh, heh, heh.
