How did I miss this one? Splendid stuff from a post on Ascensionist titled "INDEX IN THE YEAR 2020":

 

 

This is Dana's Arch. The via ferrata will protect the crack from damage by aid climbers.

 

[tomtom]

Like you, Dana's arch swings the other way.

 

[pope]

TomTom? Sounds like a name you might read in the stall down at the Rebar.

I suppose if youre all about bolting for safety its hard to argue with installing a ladder for safety.

[pope]

Right!!! Safety, increased access, more traffic, cleaner rock, no more pin scars....virtually every lame pro-bolting argument completely supports (with no modification) the via ferrata. And if you object to these things, just remember not to be so small-minded: more destructive activities (ski areas, logging, etc.) justify low-impact activities like sport climbing and constructing the via ferrata.

[EWolfe]

Your monotonous blatherings are tiresome.

 

Do you have anything to be besides the judge?

[Dru]

He gets to be the bitch 50% of the time!

except physical difficulty...you keep forgetting about that, don'tcha???

 

Oh right, i forgot, even an old pompous, used to be a badO guide, but is now worn out, ass like Dwanus can climb 5.13 using new techniques

[archenemy]

Oh look--a bolting debate

 

 

 

 

 

Bolt the earth.

[selkirk]

Can we bolt pope? Give DFA the shot at the FA? I imagine with all those bulges and slopers it could be challenging.
