But what do you guys think about Trump? Clinton? |

^ hahahahaha! |

I like the way he concedes that this question *might* just apply to anchors as well - very nice nuance to this troll. It's like presenting just the right fly to the trout, you know? |

I'm curious what routes you're talking about specifically. The only one I can think of is the 4th pitch of The Great Escape on Chapel Wall - fully bolted TCU size crack. I'd think that pitch in its current state would be highly controversial in a place like Yosemite. |

Pretty much the standard now in modern climbing. Double Cross in Jtree was the forerunner in this new modern protection philosophy but it keeps getting chopped, BASTARDS!!! |

Shouldn't you ask Erik Sloan the self appointed bolt King? |

bolt |

No. Not acceptable. But don't go ripping shit out. If Wootboy has taught us anything, it's that people are going to act with impunity and do whatever they damned well please. |
|
Uh...couldn't this logic apply to ANY trad climb? |
|
The Nose has had a bolt right next to the #2 Stovelegs for years. |

And those fucking syrian refugees are a bunch of grid bolters. Theres a crack joke related to gender identity but I'm just not quite getting there. |
