Yes I noticed this last year. I don't know who did it. It was not PBF kit AFAIK.How was the meeting (sorry I couldn't make it)?
At the Area Meet last night Neil Foster said that an extra bolt has been placed on Cosmoplitan to remove the runout.Anyone confirm this or have more details?
So was the BMC policy agreed on?

Simon, I told you who bolted it! You were obviously not listening.Same person that did White Gold.
In this particular case, I consider the addition of a bolt specifically to remove the one thing which made Cosmopolitan a memorable and unusual route, both unnecessary and inappropriate.
If objection doesn’t motivate anyone enough to remove it then you have to wonder how strongly the objections are felt.

Do you speak for "le peuple" or is this just a(nother) sweeping generalisation / fluffy rhetoric
QuoteDo you speak for "le peuple" or is this just a(nother) sweeping generalisation / fluffy rhetoricAt a guess, the same kind of majority as when we voted on whether the Peak needs a bolt policy. For those who weren't there, that's a 'yes' from everyone bar Shark and Seb.
Taking a completely neutral view as I have no interest in the slab routes at that crag, I would just like to pass on one of the justifications for the bolt. Speaking to Zippy this evening he pointed out that there was in fact a peg that no one has cared to mention. This peg could not be replaced as it took flight with the block it was wedged behind and the unfortunate climber. How much this changed the route I don't know/care. Lets not forget the details here.
