One of my pet hates on CS is people who cut and paste the whole (or a large portion) of someone else's preceding message and then simply go through it and insert their own comments. Every one can see the previous messages on the thread. It shows a distinct lack of imagination, in my view.

If you are genuinely and seriously asking me what is wrong with having dirty great lines of rings all over The Point, then maybe it's time for me to give up climbing.

The Point is unusual and precious in having an abundance of natural lines. Icebird, Windjammer, Grey Mist, Face de Rat, Bushido, Hungry Eyes, Montezuma, Memorable Moves, Tenere, Jaws, The Deeps etc are (off the top of my head) all bolt-free trad lines. The original developers of The Point actually envisaged it as an entirely bolt-free area, a 'mixed' basis is actually a compromise.

Is it too much to ask that sport climbers leave this area alone or work within the guidelines for bolting? If you want to go sport climbing isn't there enough for you in the whole of Nowra? Some people are grossly offended by lines of ring-bolts at a trad area and the dumbing down of the game to the lowest common denominator. Where have they got to go?
