trad. route perhaps?

Hey you've skipped a bolt you daredevil. Good to see the routes getting climbed - hope you enjoyed them. Did you really think "New Religion" was 6b/6c - I'm gutted!

Nowt wrong with anything in the caption! Good use of this time of year!
It's all good as long as it's only really suitable for sport...
I do think overbolting can be almost as much of a detraction as underbolting, it's important to get the balance right.

wolf,
i'm probably not the best to comment as I haven't climbed any sport routes for a bit. The top crux of NR has various options of which I thought the easiest made the whole route no harder than 6c. I could have eaten my weetabix though! Maybe a route up the right arete sharing the same bolts would be good.

The right arete is to be cleaned next. looks hard!

i wouldn't go adding any more bolts to the crag! I've since learnt that both routes are old trad. lines.

There is enough excellent trad rock on Skye for one wee neglected crag, which is now cleaner and with a much bigger following to not be missed too much.
