That's the thing bomber, there already is plenty of easy to protect classics, and rarely anyone up there climbing them!! I'm not after run-out horror shows, you've misinterpreted me, I just believe the whinging and complaining about the existing routes at Buffalo is unfounded, and that the mix is already right between easy and hard to protect routes. Do you even know the history of the recent un-consented retro bolting I refered to??
Unprotected slabs run-out is not the style I love..wtf?? What I do respect is the style of bolting that exists on the slabs and dykes. I still aspire to lead some of them.
I have to go down to my local crag and watch punters stick clip bolts to protect routes that were once a bit bold, and I have to shake my head and walk away.
