 Topic - Bouldering mats on trad routes

I'm sure this has been discussed many times before and if there are any recent threads regarding this please point me in that direction.
I was wondering what people's views are on using mats for trad routes?
I don't use one at the moment but I have had a ground fall which could have done some damage.
Do mats change the grade? I have seen videos of hard routes done with mats at the bottom. It feels a little like cheating but I would rather the safety rather than being injured and not being able to climb. When does a new shiny piece of gear that increases safety become cheating?
I am no pro climber or putting up new routes, first ascents etc. Just climbing for fun. |
