So a friend is putting up a number of routes at Skaha.
One climb has 1 move that is way out of context with the rest of the route and he doesn't know if he can free it.
He was thinking of bolting an artificial hold at the hard spot vs leaving a bolt to pull up on using a sling. If someone frees it they can remove the hold.
It is a dilemma

Are you in favor of that?

How is this a troll? This is for real (I think...) and if so, kinda whack and worthy of discussion.

Not sure what I'd gain from posting a news article about a location I've not climbed in, but I guess some guys want me to ask permission before posting?
Either way, I thought, like you, it was something folks on here might like to see.

Just a natural progression.....more fun coming to climbers everywhere! Adding artificial holds to outdoor rock climbs has three beneficial aspects that come to mind....
1) They can be used to open up climbs that have great terrain but have previously rejected people because of a singular hard move.
2) A more liberal use of artificial holds can "create" an untold number of climbs that can only help alleviate crowding at popular crags.
3) Natural holds were tried in climbing gyms and rejected because they were found to be inferior to artificial holds. Given this, it stands to reason that sprinkling natural rock climbs with thoughtfully placed artificial holds can create climbs the quality of which previously we could only dream about.

Don't think this 'discussion' would take place in Olde Blighty.
Somebody would get hurt. Actually, it just wouldn't occur.

A few years back, a couple of my friends and I bolted an old quarry that was left abandoned then given to the city. A couple guys chipped holds here and there because it wasn't natural rock. I've kinda thought it'd be funny to put some gym holds on the blank stuff there.

So you have a good quality route with one C1 move at a bolt.
But then if somebody frees it, the hold gets removed so you now have a one move route that will hardly ever be climbed? That seems rather silly.
Put the bolt at the spot. Anyone who can/wants to free the route without pulling on the bolt, more power to 'em. Everyone else can climb it like before.

The idiot that did this doesn't realize someone will get killed. All bolted on holds (on what appears to be a marginal 5th class slab) loosen with the hot/cold cycle daily. If you have ever had a hold in a gym spin you know of what I speak.
So it is currently a X rated route if you fall at one of the bolted holds?

Plastic gym holds in the wild is dumb and not very thoughtful.
Via Feratta ladder handles and cables are much smarter and better style.

Cables??? Cables or Via Ferratta ladders are not compatible with my concept of "wild." To have Half Dome , with it's cable route, a designated Wilderness Area makes no sense. One needs to go, the cables or the wilderness designation.....hopefully, the cables.

Metal or plastic? You have to choose one.
