Which is a very small per-cent of the climbing population.

More laws = fewer first ascents.

Most famous routes in the 70's were freed using fixed protection left from aid ascents.

The fixed points were then and still are far and few between. And, when they were left, not near enough to aid thru those segments.

Let's face it,

Your world view as expressed here and politically is that the world is a scarey place and it's the collective's responsibility to make you feel secure.

(just as long as someone else pays for it)

Chim...I agree with Joe view from visiting many different climbing areas.

Not just from the posters on this thread.

Almost like we shouldn't own guns but instead just rely on the police,..

Funny coming from a snow-slogger.

John...you and I can compare hard (5.11/5.12) trad ascents anytime you want.

You might be surprised. However it would be more fun to compare big routes or alpine routes. Let's compare grade VI alpine FA's we've done Bolting Bob. That's what they call you right? Not Brave Bob, not Bold Bob, nope it's Bolting Bob for a reason.

Ice tools are aid but a power drill isn't?

Ice tools.....bah, humbug. What has happened to today's youth? Why, in my day, we did perfectly well allowing are wool mitts to get wet and then conveniently freeze to the ice.

Jim soon, if Hedge and Bolting Bob have their way, you'll be able to do it with a bolt above your head the whole time. You'll be completely safe and in compliance with ADA standards.
