I've just heard a radio play about climbing on Gogarth:

A slightly contrived play, but interesting.

What does anyone else think?

Why is it so hard for the authors of such things to get some of the nuts and bolts (so to speak) of climbing a new E9 right? Surely this isn’t the best that can be done?

Interesting part at 38min which boils down to: bolts = colonialism

Very contrived, but an interesting listen.

It scraped the ethics in a way, unless you were a climber I doubt you'd understand the controversy of placing a bolt to tame a route and bring it down to your level.
