The options for Type of climb under Add new climb leave a grey area when adding a multi-pitch climb which has some bolts (e.g. in the European Alps and Pre-alps): these are not pure trad, but neither are they clip-ups. Is there room here for a new category for partially bolted multi-pitch climbs where some natural gear is also necessary or advisable?

In reply to alex_th:

We normally recommend setting the grade as a trad grade, then ensure the description details about the bolts

In reply to Andy Ovens - UKC and UKH:

Okay, that sounds like a good solution. Could that be added to the advisory text on the Add a missing climb page, e.g. under Grade and Stars, or to a page of recommendations with a link on the Add a missing climb page?
