I took part in bolting routes recently, on holiday in thailand, got a couple of first ascents on the day of departure it was great, didn't have to contribute any money, just time and effort, which was a privilege. Nothing more. I left my rope at part of the kitty for the developing crew and left it at that. The chief organizer offered me F.A.s for time put in, and we agreed no one's names will appear in the guide book.

Was a nice way of doing it. I think that he would happily provide topos it to the competing Thai guide makers to prevent bitching like this.

There was only one thing that pissed people who were doing the "work" off, a guy funnily by the name of Martin, was cragging having shots for F.A.s bitching about bolt placements without contributing. That was the only sore point.

Relevance to this issue? Not much only that bullshyte secret crag, fiscally driven bolting is a poor alternative.

It sounds like Onsight has asked guys to contribute without any incentive for themselves...and with ?2700 routes to catalouge there never will be. Hope their routes are labeled IRA style on the aca website.

Can't wait to visit, BV.
