It's not about one hold for me. Yes the first guy puts in one small hold, Mr.Joe blow sees it and goes "hey that's cool let's put one over here to" and in a few years, it's huge pink buckets with flashing lights. But there climbable and every one can do them. You have to draw a line.


Don't change the rock unless you have to in order to get pro. There are a lot of lines that with one move on aid it changes the over all rating. Corkscrew comes to mind, 5.11 or aid on one bolt and it's 5.9. Classic line if ever there was. Paint your hangers!! Don't rap huge amounts of pink webbing around trees everyone can see!! And never bolt shit to the rock other then pro. Would I chop it? I have done enough road tripping to know different places different rules.
I'm just not a chopper. It does more harm then good to the rock.
