I have to say Bigwhitej that I am impressed you are still responding to these comments. I feel you're deserving of a real reply:
Have you contacted the government for a permit to go rock climbing? Homeland Security needs to authorize your presence on cliffs. Otherwise you could be mistaken as a drug runner on higher cliffs and the country side.
By having an authorized permit, you will be free to evaluate the bolting of given routes outside to determine a safety and risk assessment.
There are those who dont and end up with hefty fines.
Good luck to you!

Well don't let go of the rock and you won't have to worry about where the bolts are.
...
If I happen to eye a route that seems as though there may be a good probability I might accidentaly let go of the rock before I reach the first bolt, I tend to go find another line. I would advise you to do the same.

It's exactly what he said he did. I like the "tough guy" bit. All the fucktards who only climb for the physical challenge and want it to be as safe as thier gym where they pump iron always call the people who climb for reasons more than endo rush "touch guy".
Yes, that's right, we are much, much tougher than you.
Now run away and go back to hiding your head up your tight little asshole.

All other issues aside, if you're skimping on bolts solely because it's expensive, fuck off. How about you save some money by not bolting at all. Do it right or don't bolt. That goes for bolt ladders. I saw an overhanging 13 that had bolts every 5 feet for 35 feet, on RC.com of course. The logic was...allow you to get back on easily if you fell.
That way you can hang your way up the route? I don't climb 13's, but if I ever do, that's not going to be how I do it.
When did fucktard become common? Damn kids these days, no respect for their elders.

The .13 is probably done up as you described so that it could even be bolted in the first place.
Why must you rag on the bolt installation on a route you can't even climb? That's what started this whole mess anyway.
Come back and bitch about it when you can climb it clean (if you still feel like bitching about it). Until that day comes, you're just talkin' out yer ass on the subject, fucktard.
So, till then...
STFU!

this is simply a justification for being a giant pussy. your distinction is meaningless.

I believe bigwhitej is talking to Homeland Security to obtain a rock climbing permit.
