I don't think you will get a huge fight there jay, but what about fracture's proposal to add more dogging bolts for pure convenience?
This is not originally my idea. (And dogging bolts aren't a very new concept at all.)
In reply to:
I don't think that is real cool. At that point, all climbing routes become the same.
Only if you are completely uninterested in movement.
I'm aware that dogging bolts are not a new idea. But retro dogging bolts is a new one for me. Probably has to do with the areas we climb at.
And I got a snicker as to your little zinger about complete lack of interest in movement. Good one. No, we cannot all be so singlemindedly focused on the ballet climbing that you so relish.
here is something to think about. I actually enjoy several different kinds of climbing. I really enjoy climbing in many different areas, and exposing myself to new climbing areas, which have their own nuances and character.
It is interesting that you push so hard for democracy on bolting issues. Maybe it's just because I'm here (where the climbing is sweet) and you're there (where the climbing is ???, but likely less than totally sweet) but I have a feeling more people would like to see variety.
i don't think being a 5.13 ballet climber will really put you in the majority. Know what I mean?
