I reckon trad gear is going to get more high tech, lighter and specialised. It'll be possible to protect the barest face without drilling - im hanging out for the invention of super strong suction caps, where you press a hydrolic button to suck the cap to the rockface, then you just clip and go.
As this happens, there will be more contention around the grades with climbs being downgraded as the gutsy and ballsy factor reduces
Yeah
