What's this just kidding, put bolts in, if you don't won't to clip don't, i,ve never seen a big issue, 100 people a year would seem max for most routes and we are the only people to see these bolts, the argument that they deface cliffs is moronic, i've climbed numerous pitches were the route description say there are bolts only to find some dick has ripped them out for there own reasons (have no brains) 60 m on a pitch no one else can see these so-called defacing bolts if you won't to solo, solo, accidents happen all the time, its your choice not to clip, as soon as i learn how to bolt i will(a much as possible) just don't clip so easy(death wishers i climb trad 20 or so times a year but also relize holds break accidents happen) i can't belive people ripped out bolts for there own glory(only in there mind, no one really cares what us climbers do except us, if your comfortable on pushing fear rather than climbing go for, it but im a climber not an adrenillen junky i'll clip if i can and leave the rest for you comfortable enough to do your own thing.why cant the other be the same?
