Örnberget: Hittar någon i bultjungeln?

[Petyak]

Well, that's one example! Could you find any other?

Pumpmaskin at Skevik.

Bolting should be kept to a bare minimum, consisting only of great lines.

To this I fully agree.

Unfortunately, one person’s judgment about the line potential as a new route is often not enough. It needs some traffic, and thus time.

If it is a bad line, maybe one should do it on tope-rope.

I climb ALL my new routes first either on top-rope or glogging, usually several times. And not only to try the climbing quality, but as an important part of cleaning up -
to try and break down everything which would go down under a full body weight. Only after that, it's time to figure out the bolt placements.

At many places, putting up a top-rope is at least time consuming, often very hard. Do many out there know how to fix top-ropes at Örnberget, for example? And that's not too hard if you know. But if not, you could easily spend half of your climbing evening session on equipping one route.

Påminner mig om en del turer man är mindre stolt över, när det inte finns några solida sprickor att göra stand på

Bara av ren nyfikenhet embl, hur ofta klättrar du på Örnis?

Jag tror det står tidigare i tråden. Men jag kan ändå vara arg på att folk tror att de kan bulta hur som helst bara för att de äger en borrmaskin. Eller för att "om bultarna bara hänger uppe tillräckligt länge så upptäcks en ny variant"....

Ha-ha. In most cases I have seen, the cost of man-hours needed to properly put up ONE new route equals to the cost of a drilling machine
