Peter_Puget Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Last weekend, a new line was bolted somewhere in Washington. The pitch is 100’ long, and has eight bolts and one gear placement below the anchors. It is more that fifteen feet from any other route. The route was climbed by two climbers, several times each, before the bolt placements were finalized. The bolts were placed in accordance with local area ethics, and no bolt was placed near a protectable feature. The area is not a sacrifical chosspile. With all of the hoo-hah and anti-bolting rhetoric we see on this board, did these bolters do something that might warrant a visit from the Bolt Police? If not, then why? If so, then why? Poptart has a strong suspicion the Bolt Police may be anti- bad bolting, not simply anti-bolting. I have to go get in the toaster now. Talk among yourselves.

hikerwa Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Don't know who this "poptart" is, but I miss the sassy, crazy poptart of the old daze...
Peter_Puget Posted July 22, 2002 Author Posted July 22, 2002 Poptart is a complex overprocessed food product. Poptart has deep thoughts about things other than getting in your toaster. Poptart sees that both ehmmic and hikerwa have frosting in their hair. How did it get there?
erik Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 how about this: WHO FUCKING CARES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PATHETIC ATTEMPT AT A TROLL POPTARTS TASTE LIKE SHIT ARE FILLED WITH SHIT AND ARE OVER PRICED FOR BEING SHIT.

Scott_J Posted July 22, 2002 Posted July 22, 2002 Its a nice route! I've done the one to the right of it and "we" looked at the one to the left of it.

Peter_Puget Posted July 23, 2002 Author Posted July 23, 2002 Poptart was being entirely serious in the post that started the thread. Sometimes there's so much hot air around here about bolting that it feels like the inside of a toaster. The thread started in Spray to save the moderators from having to move it to Spray, where most anti-bolt threads end up anyway. Now some pastry puts up a serious question about bolting and all of the anti-bolt spraylords clam up. What's up with that?
Lambone Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 I guess no one really cares, considering we don't know anything about the climb you are talking about. Like where it is, and what the traditonal ethics of the area are. If you wanted to start some spray, you should have just told us about the route. It's too sunny out to argue about bolts. Everyone is climbing in the mountains now! Cheers [ 07-22-2002, 07:48 PM: Message edited by: Lambone ]
RedMonk Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 the original pop-tart, if i can remember is 0 for 2 in his last volcano trips.... is that right? cause i heard it was....
AlpineK Posted July 23, 2002 Posted July 23, 2002 With a name like poptart I expect some good trolls and smart ass remarks. Too bad all this poptart can do is talk PC crap and make lame ass trolls.
Peter_Puget Posted July 23, 2002 Author Posted July 23, 2002 this poptart would suggest that you smoke a bowl, it might just raise your IQ to the level of conversation required to say something halfway useful, or are you another one of these little kids posting here to feel like a grownup?
