hey dennis- did a little dinner recon this evening, got some info that I wanted to share with you. The man that bolted the routes that I hate at flagstone, is in his 40's. Is that gen X?
Oh, and those bold leads by the lions of yesteryear? Mostly, done when they were young.
Typically, in a bolt war, the real loser is the rock you purport to revere. Put 'em in, pull 'em out, put 'em back in, pull 'em back out, ad nauseum. I guess in all the hyperbole and posture (both sides of course), I'm not clear on what bolts you propose to pull. Are you just going after egregiously placed bolts adjacent to natural pro, or are you out to remove bolt protected face climbs? One might be an effective statement, but the other is likely to get brickbats from both camps.
But alas, even I tire of this flapdoodle. Do what you want, but post a TR after the fact. If you want to be bold visionaries, don't sneak around like a terrorist, take responsibility for your actions, and real names too if you please...
Off white- The bolts have been placed on an infieror route on a face between two steller routes. It was bolted on a grid and done in the past year and a half some time, by a man who is 45ish and has been climbing for 5 or so years. I will not pull the bolts. how ever I would realy love to see them pulled. The route is a total pain in the ass. to climb 30 feet you pass about 15 bolts.
I am not a terrorist. I am not 'earth first', what I would love is for the man who made the obviouse mistake to pull his own route, and fill it. Like that will ever happen!
