Calm down, kids. I'd say it is indeed stupid to rope up and not place pro anyplace othen than a simple glacier. Fairweather: yes, falling climbers are a danger no matter what, but the rope multiplies their effect by 150. I'd agree with Glagow.
Your point is well taken, but the routes in question span a very large portion of this crag. It's not a matter of one or two routes. The line between safe and overbolted was crossed. Nobody is advocating creating dangerous sport routes. Nearly all the routes on the lower slab would be very safe and considered well bolted with 1/3 of the current number of bolts. Nobody is singing the praises of dangerous routes.
