Is whacking in bolts in order to be able to toprope something, with an eye to establishing a new boulder problem, acceptable in Bishop? Not that I'm judging either way - obviously as Brits we all think that it's despicable behaviour and that Mr Pringoals should be castrated, especially as it doesn't even look that high, but that's beside the point - I'm more curious about the local ethics.

Bishop Pringle sends it well. You'd think the mitre and cassock would get in the way....

yes it is, most of the bigger boulders have bolts on the top.

What happened to this thread? Someone was going on about chipping and a few of us replied, but that's all disappeared...

Probably for the best, it wasn't UKC's most edifying moment.

Well maybe not but most forums would put a little moderator note or something...

I reported it due to the complete bs that had been posted. Glad those posts have been removed.
