No I'm not taking the piss. Personally I only place glue-in rings and U's, but if someone wants to place bash-in's in the grose, then that's up to them.
Obviously a route with glue-in rings will get more repeats, but that's not the only thing climbing is about.
The Blueys is blessed with absolute miles of rock. There's space for sport routes and for bold ground up trad/mixed routes.
The first ascentionist is only responsible for being truthful about their climb, but even that's prone to a bit of artistic licence! |
