Ever hear of irony? The Mad part of my nick comes from bolting
from hooks, runout, ~crazy shit...not indiscrimate and prolific
bolting. I've placed (and replaced) a ton, but most of those
have been by hand. Makes you think twice about that bolt if
it goes in with 20 minutes of your own labor.
I don't oppose bolts. I don't even have a thing against
rap bolting -- done it myself, at sport climbing distances
I have.
But I still believe in respecting the local style/ethics/history
when it comes to bolting. These on "BoC" go against local ethics
of not bolting protectable cracks but worse, are illegally
placed in NPS Wilderness during a moratorium (which is great for
land manager relations) AND they're retrobolts.
Retrobolting is for pussies.
Figure out which side I'm on yet, genius?
