Sorry Matt but I fully disagree with retro bolting routes regardless of whether or not you have permission and whether or not it is your route.

I do howevefr agree with the replacement of eroded fixed pro provided it is bolt for bolt. Ethics mustnt be forgotten mate and retrobolting has been frowned upon since forever. Though on the other hand, you are making routes safer for the community by making pro safer and more frequent, which is a very decent thing to do especially when it is coming out of your own pocket. But then again, by doing this some would consider that it is taking the adventure out of it climbing, by making it a fail safe activity…

Safe climbing
