The Irish Solution to The Ben Lomond Problem 12-Sep-2017 At 9:44:17 AM RhythmSection

I'm writing this as someone who climbs at the Ben "fairly" regularly, last season we made 6 trips up from the south, we have been going to stacks and africa lately but climb at the flutes all the same. No one I climb with (my mates) disagree with the Ben being bolt free. Imagine a bolt on runwezori? We are proud to climb there as a total trad cliff and it gets us well psyched. We have shleped statics up to the top and left them up on the flutes for days. Last season there was a 90m static up on the flutes just near rajah for weeks. we just coiled it up and hid it up top after the day was done because wind was pretty gnarly. Who are the people winging?, I may live in a little bubble of like minded individuals but I haven't heard any complaints from anyone (as in Tassie climbers).
