Hey Matt!
Virtually ALL of the hard overhanging steep roof sport routes at the NRG were put up on lead from the ground, specifically cuz you can't just lower on rap...its tooooo steep...where does this leave dwayner, pope et al w/ their arguments?? Were those guys chickenshit? Don't think so, as many of the routes involved BOLD climbing to establish them...complete w/ bone-breaking falls if you fuck up before the route goes in...i witnessed and put in some of these...
Flip side of this coin is the tennessee wall....no bolts there, and everything was led ground up...hard ass shit there too...
These can in no way, be considered anything else except sport routes...?????????????????????? CONFUSED ??????????????
sitmo is too muddy to appease extremists on either side of the argument...in my very stupid opinion...
