Gray rock bolting
|
Someone is bolting a route about 200 ft. right (as climber faces the rock) of "The Greatest Route." Bolts are about 6 ft. apart on maybe 5.6 terrain. 5.6 is not an aid line and does not warrant bolting! Please leave your Christmas Hammer Drill at home! |

What climbing area are you referring too? "gray rock" is not very specific. |
|
Fred's referring to Greyrock. |

Go,Fred! Go! |

Bolting every 3ft?? On .6??!! Baffles the mind. I don't even set pro that close together. Bet they're bright shiny bolts as well. |
|
yeah...lot's of things called "greyrock" in Colorado. |

If it were a 5.13 route I'd expect the bolts to be farther apart, especially in the easier sections. 5.6 leaders may need more protection but 3 ft. is uncalled for. Truly though it all comes down to whether or not the line is even worthy of bolts. We've been having this conversation over on Splitterchoss.com. |
