Jens Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 If you ever see anything red attatched to the first bolt of route, that means it is a work in progress and may have not yet been safely bolted or cleaned. It could be a dangerous siuation even if if appears to be completely equiped or fun looking. It could be unsafe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-spotter Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Yeah it's red tagged cause some punter can't send. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual_chocolate Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Yeah right, whatever. Â I've seen little red tags claiming "mine mine!" sitting on the same route for years. Â 6 months, then it's an open project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevbone Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 (edited) Yeah it's red tagged cause some punter can't send. Â What if the route setter is injured? or the route still needs cleaning. If you come in and steal it? Your and asshole. Maybe and FA, but still and asshole. Â TREAT PEOPLE LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED! WOULD YOU LIKE IF SOMEONE SAID "FUCK YOU IM CLIMBING IT"?

sexual_chocolate Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 i don't even bother red-tagging anything i bolt. fuck it. who gets it, gets it. Â having said that, i do think the route prepper should get a reasonable time to redpoint, like say 6 months. after that, take yor territorial pissings elsewhere. Â i love being an asshole: where are your projects, kevbone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted November 5, 2006 Share Posted November 5, 2006 I haven't red tagged anything in years cause it's weak. Clean, send, all in one go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tthirloway Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 What if you put your own bolts in? Then is it fair game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-spotter Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Right next to the existing ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sexual_chocolate Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 What if you put your own bolts in? Then is it fair game? Â happy thanksgiving. yes, that's what i was referring to. i think 6 mo's is reasonable for the bolter to claim sole proprietorship, imo, but when one sees red tags hanging on a sweet line for over a year or more, then come on man, give it up. Â i put bolts in somewhere recently and didn't bother with a red tag. it's open, it's there, and anyone who sees it is welcome to check it out. (doesn't mean i'm gonna advertise it, especially since i haven't really worked on it yet!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawkeye69 Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 if that red tag is faded, go for it. just take your chances that it has been cleand and bolted all the way. Â i jumped on one that looked like ti was done and it was not red tagged. it wasnt cleaned worth sh&&. broke all kinds of loose sh&& off on me. scared me to death. then there were a couple bolts missing on the top. more fear to snack on. god i do love it when you dont die and your shorts are still clean at the top.

LUCKY Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 I put red tags on routes usually because I have not yet cleaned something dangerous off yet or a bad bolt skull ...climb at your own risk I am not that possessive about the FA, have at it, but to shank someone's route without putting some work into it is kinda MANK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
