>Squeezing another line of bolts inbetween established classics, or bolting the bejeezus out of a new cliff only to establish a bunch of second-rate routes is more detrimental to climbing than anything. If you really want to contribute to climbing, attend a few Cliffcare working bees to minimise the damage already done by climbers, help out with the new Burnley wall, or if you really want to establish new routes... then how about establishing some well-protected, quality routes in the grade range of 8 -18, because that's what is lacking.
the church of simey has spoken. Does the bishop actually climb anymore ? |
