Joe Healy said:Also, from a bolting / risk perspective, it would seem to me that pretty much every bolted line, but especially slabs, are by definition contrived from a risk perspective - BY certainly is and I suspect we can safely say the top of Growing Up is as well. How could they not be - someone made a personal / executive / FA decision on the bolt spacing - isn't that 'contrived'?
By that token couldn't you also say the risk on every gear protected climb is contrived by the decision to not place bolts?
EDITED TO ADD: Philo is 100% right above, thanks for the heads up.

I suppose so, but only if you laid down the game so long time ago you've forgotten what it is.

Looks like Cooper is gearing up for a 3rd ascent of WOS.

Kaitb,
That ain't fair. Cooper has 10 built-in, original equipment pointed Leeper paws. No way that’s gonna count as legit.
Congrats on the send!

You and me both Joe, old farts adrift in the future.

Aye, congrats Ammon and Kait! And to your dog, too! Now MY big question is, can you teach Cooper to Wingsuit?
