Heres another one to slam on! I have this pic of Rob Mulligan climbing the Peanut at JT *note the hanging pad on the wall*!
Because, on a prior attempt he skinned his ass good peeling off the problem.
Not justifying pad piles, but I think I would rather see this climbed with pads than to see 3 or 4 shiny bolts and a chain anchor

And you could paint the bolts and hangers and use some open cold shuts so you don't have to see chain.

A TR with no bolts will also work just fine.

Its crazy how bouldering now is the complete polar opposite from what it used to be. When I started climbing, bouldering was the sport of loners and outcasts; people that were trying to get away from the crowds. There was a certain pride in striking off in a random direction by youself, say in Josh, with nothing but shoes and a chalk bag clipped to your belt loop. No plan, no agenda, just wherever you end up.
And now?

Rtm -- "And Now?"
You're wasting time on the internet instead of "striking off in a random direction by yourself, no plan, no agenda, just wherever you end up."
Look where you ended up .... LOL

Clearly, if that landslide on #120 had used enough pads, the highway wouldn't be closed now, watch say?

The most pads I've ever used for a prob is four or five, and I was glad to have 'em. High, hard, scary problems (on the bvb scale, anyhow.) At 54 years old the knees ain't what they used to be, but I still like to air it out on occasion.
I also make a deliberate point of not using them at all once in a while, just to keep the oldskool flame alive. Plus it impresses the youngsters -- with my stupidity. Just as Weschrist.

Rox, last time we climbed together (new route in progress, arches apron, just left of GBG, July/August '77) you seemed to love Kali. And as a young Grom you taught me some things about new routing that I put to good use years later. Plus you kept me, uh, "party favored" as an added bonus, gratis.
I remember at the end of that summer, when Watusi and I were penniless, starving, and truly down-and-out, you gave us a ride from the Valley to LA so we could get home, asking for and expecting NO gas money, and fed us some grub along the way. You can huff and puff on the TardWeb all you want, but I know what you're trying to hide under all that bluster.
