Thanks for the response B……I will not be adding any bolts to this route. Never was. Just wanted to talk about it. Thanks all for the enlightening discussions.
As far as your comments above go I might have to disagree a little. If the FA asked me (or anyone else) to add a bolt or did it him/her self , it would not be setting a bad precedent. If you have the original artist of the route tinkering with it, it is open for interpretation by him/her and everyone else who doesn’t like it can fuck off and go climb something else.
I do say that if they did add a bolt you and everyone who climbed it from then on out would happily clip it.
