Maybe get a better job.  You're almost 40 and it looks like your lack of income isn't conducive to not leaving rock looking like swiss cheese somehow.  No wonder people were "hating".  

I guess Ground up is too hard for some people.

I was sure this was a troll, looked at the previous comments...

Oops, not a troll. He's really retro-bolting routes and really has pissed off local climbers before even moving to UT

There’s got to be a way to tie that to the blowing 2 guys at once comment....but...just...outta reach

The thing is one of the lines that got retrobolted in Moab was clearly listed in a guide book. Oooops. Looks like some research needs to happen.

Hahahahah! A mixed route involving a stick clip - instant classic.

A little work put into cleaning up the route(s?) that had been climbed prior to bolting may go a long way with community relations

Otherwise of course people are going to hate when theres empty bolt holes everywhere in longs canyon due to your handiwork.

Cool, thanx for owning it...Yeah I made some mistakes on the anchors...but it's been done already and if you care that much your welcome to fix it.  Your welcome for a new route being opened for you to enjoy....and I'm not coming to your yard (pagan) to talk about it...stay on open ground...is your opinion even your own...brother?

Yeah some good context. Learn how to use a power drill. If your pushing too hard maybe your in reverse(;

Haha....yeah thats exactly what I did wrong...total rookie dumb ass mistake

Ground up is for the birds...so is hand drilling...do you lead with ridged friends and hexes?...I fuckin doubt it...get the fuck out with that bullshit

Go climb it and pull the crux moves...do it how ever you want...

I do love a good chain-post

I think the real issue here is the know-it-all shop employees that you find nowadays at all the local shops across the nation. At least the people at REI admit they don't know shit.
