I have been told some of the lines here are rather run out, as much as 25' in-between bolts with some serious fall potentials. So what is the deal with the bolt spacing here, is it sport or more like "bolted protected face climbing".

Much of this area has been developed by Louie Anderson, so I doubt many of the routes are run-out -- probably the exception rather than the rule.

I've climbed at the quarry plenty of times and been climbing there all summer long. Climbs are well protected 6-8 feet apart with some rare parts going up to 10 feet apart. I just did Raging Raptors which is approx 100 feet and has 15 bolts to Ring Anchors. You can calculate to see how far apart bolts are on this one |
