Hey, I was trying to be positive. I didn't want to mention that someone who talks about not needing chalk and suggests substituting bolts on a fifty degree cave with a knotted rope dropped from above likely never climbed past the mid-teens and might be less than ten years from the retirement village anyway so should probably leave all this to the people who understand modern rockclimbing ('modern' being a broad term encompassing all the changes which have taken place since about 1975).

However, I chose not to go off on that rant, because if the suggestions were taken to a more appropriate venue (e.g. Point Perp), they actually make a lot of sense.
