While people are on the topic of trad routes being made more “user friendly”. I was rather surprised, and seriously pissed off, to find this weekend that bolts have been added to some of the belays on Cornerstone Rib and Lieben. The Bungles has always been home to ground up, long and committing climbs but in the last year the number of bolts in the park must have doubled or tripled with the addition of new rap bolted sport routes and “direct starts”. So much for adventure climbing….. |
