Miket123 Posted April 1, 2015 Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) I went on a backpacking trip in the backcountry off 97, south of Peshastin a while ago and was taken aback by the sheer number of possible boulders and maybe some sport routes in the area a few of the boulders even had chalk on them already. What restrictions if any are there against bolting and cleaning in the general area? Edited April 1, 2015 by Miket123 Quote
pcg Posted April 2, 2015 Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) OK I'll start. I went on a backpacking trip in the backcountry... Do you go on a backpacking trip in the backcountry to see bolts and chalk? Neither do I. Maybe I'm being presumptuous. Maybe you do. Why can't people leave things be? If you can't climb something safely without chalk and bolts why not just accept that and leave things be. I enjoy sport climbing as much as anyone else. Bolts and chalk have their place, but it's at a crag by a highway. Now that I've stated my opinion in a forthright manner I should also state that it is good of you to ask before bolting. It shows you are aware of differing opinions and considerate of them so thank you for that. We all have to share this earth and I know we all have different visions for how to do that. Thanks for listening to mine. Edited April 2, 2015 by pcg Quote
