TR - Point Perp multipitch sport 12-Jun-2013 At 1:58:41 PM Olbert

The routes were actually really good - though probably less intimidating than the usual Point Perp fair. I am actually torn between saying half the rings should be chopped so it's more intimidating and saying that it should all stay because I really bloody enjoyed the route as it is. As it is, I'm not going to do anything about it though will probably be back to climb the other routes down there - and I'm going to clip every bolt available.

On the subject of bolts - I was at Frog recently and seeing the difference between Elven Kings and a whole bunch of the other "sport" routes there on carrots - it really makes a difference to the feel of the route and nearby routes. Elven Kings looked less intimidating than it was because of the great lumps of shiny steel, the other routes all looked intimidating because you had to really look to see the bolts. I like having intimidating routes. I like having non-intimidating routes. I dislike having intimidating routes at intimidating areas rebolted into non-intimidating routes.
