That answer is here and essentially it is money that you're after. Fair enough, why not ask, indeed these guys have probably spent more on bolts and most definitely more on glue than anyone else.

Personally I think it would be sad to see financial incentive being given to the development of these crags. It would no doubt result in faster development, shittier routes and most importantly less of these great creative experience left for the people that come after us. The focus would be on quantity rather than quality.
It is not like we are in need of heaps of new routes immediately or that our crags are too packed, it is just an exercise that serves the individual doing the bolting.
