Reply To: Re-bolting of “Morning Glory” at Stathams

Saber Tooth,

Point taken. Still disagree. I have photos of the rock in question and unless you blow it up 500% you can’t see the bolts you mention.

Don’t confuse my support for hangers and p-bolts with a desire to make every climb a sport climb…far from it! Trad should be the first option, mixed (combination of trad and sport)the second option and then sport as the third option where no trad can be placed.

I will however admit to an absolute hatred of carrots and see no place for them in this world now that there are far better options. Those of you that berate the p-bolt seem misunderstand why i am in favour of them. You dont’t use them to climb like a “ladder”. You still have to climb the ROCK, clip the bolt and clip the rope! How is that different to clipping a carrot besides the obvious extra waste of time of placing a plate?

If nothing else this forum has been fun and interesting and demonstrates we have a long way to go before we can agree on one single topic
