hey guys and girls
i know how all u trad heads feel about bolting and comming from australia where most routes are trad i would have to say i agree with you.... but there is one thing ive been hard to decide upon. it takes me an hour and a half plus to get to any natural rock from where i live (in melbourne), but the next best thing is bouldering the three or four bluestone bridges that are around the place...... i consider these as boldering locations where u push new moves.... if u climb up u can just do it with dodgy wires and rps which im not to keen on falling on...... so i cant push myself....... all my friends feel the same about the bridges. do you guys think its wrong to bolt them.... cos there not natural rock any way .
im interested in all views on the touchy issue.

there heavily populated ie cars busses trains people dogs cats mice ect all use them. but you can access them below via a bike path thingy. also for those engineers the places id place blots if any.. would not be load bearing parts ie not in the arch span bit.

Just don't get caught.
That's probably a felony.

For once, I say BOLT THE SHIZ OUT OF IT!!! That's actually pretty cool. You might try asking the city first. Then if they say no, just break out the headlamps...
