Death routes are important to test the minds of climbers (who choose to attempt them). It would totally suck if routes at Arapiles like some on Curtain Wall, Tjuringa Wall, or Starless Buttress (ie. Ride like the wind - 'The definitive mind trip') or Shai Hulud on Taipan wall were safe (ie. more bolts). Training your mind to keep it together on bold routes is something much harder to train than physical strength. To me routes like these are something to aspire to, maybe.... depending on whether you really think the feeling you get when you climb it is worth the risk of getting hurt, and whether you really believe you can do it without falling. Once you believe something you're 90% there. It's cool to scare yourself every now and again as long as you've got the head to keep it together.
