Yeah, great, well done guys, more of the above please for the aged, infirm and useless. Bummer about 70m or 80m ropes though - some of us Bumblies haven't invested in those because we assume they are for routes above our station.

Wow, well done indeed. Hopefully this will give many people much pleasure.

Have never bolted on lead and worried about spaced bolting (for others) if doing it. But agree, this is something worth knowing. Never occurred to me before. Seems so obvious (when someone else tells you!)

Well done.
