Trad routes as projects? 4-Feb-2008 At 11:38:10 AM ademmert

Seeing as my crack route seems to have started this whole debate I'll give my 2cents worth

I think that if someone has put in a reasonable amount of effort (cleaning and/or bolting) then that person should be given a reasonable length of time to try and tick it, but if it is left dormant or that person is just to slack to get back to it regularly to finish it off, then it should be open to the public.

With my crack route, i totally intend to be up there every weekend trying it and have been training quite hard for it, but if i don't get it with in a reasonable time frame (or i just think it's to hard for me) then i will be happy to hand it over to anyone who wants to have a go. I want to see things climbed not locked up for ever!

Lastly i believe in do unto others as you would have done to yourself!
If you had spent many day preparing and working a route would you want someone else to come and steel it from under you?

Ps. I will let this forum know and all interested parties as soon as i tick this crack or decide its to hard
