All the Ken Nichols antcics have me thinking....
how many of you like going on benders and erasing those nasty offensive metal shinies? One time I chopped four bolts, but that's the extent of my anti-retro rage exploits.
How bout the rest of you/// What's the most you have chopped?

:troll:
or maybe:
:deadhorse:
So, mr/ms milfer, how many:
- routes have you developed?
- crags have you developed?
- trails have you built/maintained?
- people have you instructed on preserving our precious land resources?
Do you donate time/effort/money to the Access Fund or local climber's advocacy groups?
I could go on, but counting bolts seems so much easier. :boring:

- about 40 or so
- helped with two...maybe a third, sort of
- too many too count
- hundreds....
Access Fund? HAHA...No, no, no sir. I fall into the Sherman camp on that one. (read his seminal piece in the latest peridocal) . The Access Fund has never represented my interests or the interests of any of the hundrted of actual climbers I know.
They do have purdy pictures and catchy feel-good slogans tho....

Last week I chopped every anchor on all the 5.11 and under routes at Supercrack Buttress and Battle of the Bulge. It was hot, but I am sick of seeing bolts next to perfectly protectable cracks.

Nice Ronnie, keep up the good work.
Those that frequent the area should have sizable racks with them anyway. Placing/clipping bolts there is just plain lazy!
Thank you.
