Kevin, fortunately that isn't how or why I climb. The IB 'developers' didn't hold to the original line - I don't intend to hold to either of them.
Hold to the original line? Was that their goal? And ……since you have not climbed it……I am sure you will agree you really don’t know if they held to the original line…..more speculation from you’re camp. How can you comment on a line, original or not, that you have never witnessed on your own? Where do you get your info from? A book? The web?
If you think the line is an atrocity…..try climbing it on the bolted line and not clip any of the bolts…….that would be impressive. Other wise you are not climbing IB…..just Mt. Garfield.
