Firstly k-bomb before any views are expressed can you please stop associating a conservative approach to bolts with visual damage.

Secondly it seems with all the chalk a bunch of peeps are enjoying the route as is whether as a tr or a pre inspected lead - well done to the head pointers for opening this up for all to re-remember and enjoy.

So why bolt? You've got a world class classic 19 warm up next to it, stress free easy top rope at virtually same belay. So if you wanna do the climb you shouldn't care. Evidence is the piles of peeps who have built up the recent chalk don't care either.

Ohh you want to lead it?!??? But you've tr'd it and bolted it. Talk about flogging a dead one - why not just lead it with gear in situ? Who and why are you bolting it for? And saying that gt will go with the consensus is pretty disingenuous in a world where consensus is that peeps need an app to wipe their butt. (Ed pm me I'll send you the link).

Ps don't bring up Damian's goat saving hypocrisy.
