Open Projects ?? 30-Sep-2003 At 4:55:23 PM vwills

I've only started bolting projects this year with my cousin (he has the drill). We would get far more climbing done on existing routes but there is something gratifying about discovering a crag, spying a nice line, cleaning it, bolting it if necessary and then climbing it. It takes time, money and effort. We climb each others projects but not "cleanly" and don't mind if other people climb ours as long as they dog it (so I don't really see the point). A project is declared open when I know I've given it my best shot. I don't think there should be an abitrary time in which to do this. Most people have some insight.
If I found someone had climbed my unopened project and claimed the FFA it would be a castratable offence. So beware....
