Alexmac,
lets make this clear to cut down on future flaming: the question was "can an area developer place rappell bolts if he feels them necessary?"
Your answer (summed up) was "No, you stupid n00b, there are no new routes to be put up, so why would you, a n00b, want to bolt, you ethics free retrobolting n00b?" I paraphrase, but that was the meat of it, and you still failed to actually answer the question substantially.
And I really gotta ask, where do you get off claiming that there are no new routes to be done? I can think of at least two primo lines at my local crag just waiting to be done. And its been a popular crag since the 50s.
Furthermore, I know of entire cliffs in Colorado (a fairly "climbed out" area), Utah (same case) and Wyoming (less so) that have never been touched, only looked at. Believe me, there's climbing left to be done. LOADS.
