Urgent: Sport climbs at Mt. Arapiles? 7-Jan-2008 At 1:50:59 PM surfinclimb
Message
Having never been to europe, and 90% of my climbing having been done at Araps/Gramps, Its a fairly
scary proposition to realise that theres people out there that think like "Dreaming" and believe that all
routes should be bolted so that those too lazy to acquire new skills can be appeased. Could you imagine
how much reward and sense of achievement you would loose if climbs like missing link were bolted?
Is this really the way that lead climbing is done over there?
Are we headed that way?

Im no bolt nazi and I feel that bolted climbs are nessecary in certain areas but if that line of thinking was
to emerge im quite sure there would be a large group chopping "bolts" and "nuts" of any visiting
foreigners (or locals) wanting to make Araps feel like home.
