Yeah I saw Fred climbing up Carl's Berg WI5 this winter too
DDD route is bolted but oh well I guess that is what happens when the thing sees a handful ascents in 15 years (or so I hear). Apparently someone decided they wanted to climb it and be somewhat safe about it. Not to argue that I agree with bolting it because I feel in the middle about it. Face it, now it is a great line that will be climbed by more than a handful in the next 15 yrs. Doh !! Let me see hit the deck for some climb or be safe they must have thought. I think the arrogance and machismo was downgraded on one half of me to be honest. The other side says damn there are plenty of other routes to get on too.
As far as overbolting I dont think it falls into this category myself. If you dont like it go chop em. To call it Bolt Mania may be a little overboard too?
