You would have to ask the "bolter" :P

If you see my other thread "Hartley Vale Road" you may be able to put two and two together and come up with the route i think can be done on "natural" gear.
I will readily admit i HAVE NOT rapped this route, though from the ground and doing routes adjacent to it, it fully appears it would go on samll wires and cams, though would be quite scary and very hard climbing.
I merely posed this question as "theoretical".
I may or may not rap the route in question to see if it is possible for me.
Though i am well aware of someone who thinks the route can be done on gear and has the capabilities to do it rather easily. Not they are intending to do it in the near future, if at all.
