The responsibilities of rock climbers and the principle of fighting Bolts

The current issue of fighting Bolts is a very controversial thing. The main reason is that there is no standard and no consensus on some things in the rock climbing industry, so everyone is self-centered. If everyone can make a route, who can restrain it? The biggest problem this brings is the problem of damage caused by the inability to manage

Whether to hit a route is to build or destroy it is a matter of two sides. I think the rock fields in Thailand and the dragon cave in Taiwan can become our borrowing mirror. Of course, we also make many mistakes synonymously, learn from the mistakes.

1. The principle of not hitting Bolts:

1. In areas where TopAnchor can be set up, try not to hit!

2. Try not to fight the rock fields where few people go!

3.First take rebolt as the premise, first maintain the existing route, and then develop some new areas.

2. The responsibility of rock climbers, the right to fight Bolts

Everyone can fight BOLT. No matter what you are doing, whether it is a personal or commercial act, whether it is a Taiwanese or a foreigner, but it must be able to withstand public doubts and be supervised.

Responsibility

1. If you fight Bolts, you have the responsibility to maintain it. This is a lifelong obligation. If you don’t have the ability to do it, you should be more conservative and less routes, because there is still a way to climb, and there is no reason to leave some problems for you. Later generations will bear it.

2. As a rock climber, if you use BOLT, then you have the responsibility to contribute money and effort to maintain it.

This is the common karma of rock climbers. Don’t hold on to the idea that the holder is not me killing! No one is killed by me, but when others are killing him, I just wait and see and stop him without saying a word.

3. If you don’t have the ability to take care of the children, don’t have so many

Whether it is planted or expanded bolts, it will have their service life. When the years are over, there will naturally be safety problems. At that time, whether it is removing bolts or hitting bolts is a big problem, especially when the route is too much, it is not An individual or group has the ability, time and money to do these tasks. Since they do not have the ability to solve these problems, don’t create so many problems.

4. It’s good to have enough routes

Outdoor climbing routes are as long as they are enough for the current climbing population. There is no need to open more routes to make Guidebooks or to create more people.

Although developing new routes will bring more climbing populations, it will bring more damage. Like Thailand, most routes are developed by foreigners, so no one knows whether it is good or bad.

3. The principle of fighting Bolts

A. Try to concentrate and densely, don’t fight one by one in the east. Let the damage be concentrated in certain specific areas. The more scattered the more difficult it is to manage, and the bigger the problems will be.

B. Try to replace expanded bolts with a longer service life. Therefore, Rebolts is the primary task.

C. Only issue areas where there are currently bolts, try to develop the existing areas more perfectly and have more routes. The areas that have not yet been developed are declared as non-bolts areas (NoBoltingAera). If someone calls bolts without authorization, we will remove them.
