STeveA wrote:Who said anything about forgetting to put a bolt in. The crack is very big and easy to place a cam into. You are also at a good stance so it is not a difficult placement. The cliff has / will have trad climbs as well as well as sport climbs so expect to bring a rack of gear when you come. Oh, I forgot you don't know where it is.

trad_reborn wrote:i guess my point was that if it just takes one piece of gear, friggin put a bolt in. not a matter of ease of placing. people have started up routes in cochrane lane with just quickdraws b/c they see one bolt, let alone a route of 5 bolts. i can guarantee someone will head up that route w/o any pieces and will be unpleasantly surprised at that section.
