Chief,
not even a good effort of not answering my question, your gibberish is rubbish.
I'm not justifying bringing any route down to any particular level, I'm just explaining to your ignorant ass what has and will continue to go on. You've got absolutely no control, nor does anyone else, of someone places or chops bolts. I don't really care if WOS sees more bolts, YAWN! Are there any routes on El Cap that haven't seen bolts from repeating parties, can you name one? Probably not. eh?
Again, why is it a travesty for bolts added to WOS but not so for just about every other climb on El Cap or any other cliff in the world.
Very, very simple question.
What you call a justification I call reality. You still cannot answer a simple question. So in your twisted logic other climbs that have bolts added are just simply irrelevant? Just not part of the discussion?
Selective outrage is weak!

Nope. Spewing gibberish is not only weak but pathetic.
Why are all the bolts added to virtually every big wall climb not a travesty but the bolts added to WOS a huge travesty?
I know what soul is, but you still can't answer a simple question.
So what you're saying is if one is as ignorant as you and claims loads of soul, you can spray bolts on any climb, just not WOS?

It matters because the route is so contentious which means the SA should be done as the route stood in order to know what the real deal with the FA was. So far it's only seen SA bolters and bailers.

Yo Healyje,
I agree that WOS was before it's time, and I look forward to a real SA. So far from what I've read, we are not sure that the route has been bolted. What we do know is that there are bolts in the general area.
Isn't Grossman heading up there some time soon?
Just out of curiosity, who is Meaty?
Chief,
Grow up, what you lack in rationality you more than make up for in tenaciousness. Is that a good thing?
Prod.

I hope that whoever added the bolts, had the courtesy to ask Richard and Mark for permission to do so.
Did this happen on the FFA of the Dihedral? Or Arcturus? Or whatever?
The times have changed and so have the ethics. The only constant is the wall, which will be here long after the debate has died.

Werner & Ammon - What standard of Truth?? Seems you've just perpetuated the same rumors that were spead at the "time of the project" and more. Fact is Mark & Richard are 7th Day Adventists (Not The Same thing!!). All the sh#t bags at the base were from jerks throwing sh#t bags from the Aquarian Wall and adjacent walls. Mark & Richard had to establish an alternate start as some "Valley Locals" jugged their ropes, cut the ropes down and then sh#t on them (the ropes). Is that what you're calling "independent free will?" Sounds more like harassment. How about you two jump on the route and give us a TR at ST!!

Meaty, proud of you for speaking out. Kids today just don't know.
The Chief, WTF?! Do you think this is a free climb or something? Total awe? Hilarious. Did you start duct-taping hooks during this episode? Like Pete.
You're no different than Bwana and Skid. The fact that you took three days on that length of climbing makes you a bafoon. I mean really. That get up Peter posted is evidence enough.
I hope Ammon does well and finally puts this nonsense to rest. The damned route has been done for all practical purposes by several parties. I want to see it mostly freed by some awesome slab climber. It's all about the haters vs. the lovers on this one.

No plans for that, Joe. Contrary to earlier statements, Steve never planned on getting on the route. We did discuss climbing Horse Chute and taking a look and recording any evidence and then rapping and chopping it along the way. But then I scored this really good job and those plans fell through. Oh, and for the record, you are one of the lovers. You are one of the lovers, healy. You are one of the lovers, healy.

Hello Chief - that's an awesome photo from Zion. Hope you recall our trip up Touchstone Wall at a later date.
Peter Haan - You are late with the introductions! Where are the photos of Meaty & drljefe? Where's the equity?
