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

Hi Justin,

Funny, I still climb. Most of my friends climb, and they even manage to climb using hex heads, but you know the really scary thing, a lot of them use natural gear, even scarier, some of them do onsite leads of new climbs, from the ground up, with no prior inspection, and I can tell you for sure, I have never had bigger kick than that. Open your eyes, there’s a lot more going on in climbing than ring bolts. If you find new climbs that need bolting, then you are of course free to go buy the bolts, the glues, the tools and bolt them yourself. But I’ll tell you now, you bolt something that can be done on natural gear, I strongly suggest you don’t own up to it. No-one will have the slightest bit of respect for it.
