I know it isn't the original subject of the thread, but I'm excited to see how this hijack plays out (again).

Apparently it is about whether or not people should have gay sex and whether or not people should be bolting. I can see how those two topics go together.

I climb under the opinion that "if it works, use it". I am not a climbing Nazi and I will use and have used anything to give me a boost to the top. You can sometimes catch me me indoors using other climb's to get past a crux if I get stuck, its about how hard you want to push yourself.
Altho in saying that, using a bolt or biner to get you up higher usually ends in tears (eg broken or gaping holes in your fingers) if you fall while your fingers are in it (have seen it happen a couple of times).

Hey, your on-topic comments don't belong here!
I've intentionally left quickdraws on route so new people in my party wouldn't be tempted to throw a finger in the hanger. Usually a quick explanation of degloving at the start of the day works wonders. If someone wants to yard on something, I tell them to stick with the fabric. While you might manage to jamb your hand on the lower biner if you're really lucky, it's better than losing a finger.
I hate routes with a really poor foot right above a bolt. Your foot slips, you're on the bolt, and then the temptation slips in. Damn temptation.

Bolts, schmolts. I've climbed beautiful splitter bolted cracks at Shelf Road in CO. Big deal. Ditto with in France. Big deal. And no, neither was protecting loose flakes.
Anwyay, back on topic, is using knee-pads for a free climb considered poor form?

Just out of curiosity, is a skull smear considered poor form? I don't have any pictures but I saw one performed the other day.
