I would have to say the East Face of Whitney is just not that appealing. The closest I've come to getting clocked on the melon was on that climb.
I have not been to JT in years, but that is the first time I've heard about bolts on DC. Is nothing sacred?

Brassnuts.............you still use ropes!!!?? That's so , er OLD school.
I thought Donini Crack in Bariloche was over rated. The bolts on it are handy though.

I realize this is outright heresy, but I'd put the gunks right on top of the list for an over rated area. Full disclosure though - I've only climbed there 3 days. My opinion may revise next month.

May as well, Jaybro.
They're already lined up at the base like it's the Half Dome Cables.

Overhang Overpass hasn't been the same since it was rap-bolted. O tempora! O mores!

Josh, I think you were on somethin else cuz the sequence on POD goes like this:
crimp crimp high step, clip, crimp crimp highstep, clip, crimp crimp high step, clip . . . .
I'm not asking for a bolt that close to the ground on DC. Something you could stick clip would be ok.

A number of routes at Smith seem pretty overrated.
Five gallon buckets, the most popular climb in the park, isn't really that exciting.
Anything on the Peanut. Definitely not worth waiting in line for.
Barbecue the Pope. Supposedly a "classic," .10b, I just think it's pretty "meh."
Of course many Californians will say that Smith overall is overrated, but then again, many Oregonians think California as a whole is overrated...

David...that's what people who've only climbed in the Gunks 3 days say!
Hike out to Millbrook or Lost City next time you're there for a completely different experience.

What a bunch of jaded mouth breathing knuckle draggers… I’ve never met a climb I didn’t like one way or the other.
I even point them out to my friends,,,”yeah yah see that pile, it's better than it looks up close, you should go hike up there and get on it….”

Once, when I was at band camp, I climbed Double Cross.

OK, so I'm taking the chance of sounding like troll food, but...
Two bolts on Double-Cross is a joke, right?

I think so. It needs at least four to be safe.
