The debate goes on - there is a battle going on right now over Carn Vellan in Cornwall. The trad defenders have a long history of bolt free status on their side. Something that we haven't had in most areas of Aus.

The link to the grading system is important. With a simple number grade, when the going gets tough, the drill comes out. If you get extra points for scare factor, a blank section becomes an adrenalin opportunity.
