I don't even particularly mind some well thought out bolted anchors, preferably with prior consultation rather than bullshit post-consultation mixed with fake compromise. Feet off ground sounds like an alright dude, but the various aspects of this whole situation which annoy me are;

- The systematic targeting of trad climbing areas. There's hundreds of kilometers of junk sea cliff in australia which climbers have no interest in at all. Go sink meter-long ringbolts in some remote chossy bit of the great australian bight and climbers won't hassle you. Go slackbolt a fuching sport crag. Why does it have to be the most prominent sections of a select few bits of cliff in the country where climbers have developed a minimal bolt ethic? i.e. Buffalo, Point Perp, Araps, Piddo.

- The slacklining startup company grassroots bullshit. I was taught from a young age to be suspicious of anyone's motives if they stand to make some money. Maybe one thing has nothing to do with the other, but running around bolting slackline anchors onto trad crags while advertising a company that charges money to teach people to slackline smells a little fishy.

- Sloppy work. I don't think that anyone who cares about a place would squirt glue around like that.
