pope Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisG Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 I suppose if youre all about bolting for safety its hard to argue with installing a ladder for safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pope Posted October 26, 2005 Author Share Posted October 26, 2005 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.

selkirk Posted October 26, 2005 Share Posted October 26, 2005 Can we bolt pope? Give DFA the shot at the FA? I imagine with all those bulges and slopers it could be challenging. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
