Finishing up tonight's indoor session with a low-level traverse, and I found a "Hero" sized mini Double Decker hidden in a hold!! #Climbing #IndoorClimbing #CragSwag

@devnull @Badgardener I must admit that my trad leads here are amongst the easier grades! But I do like the "leave no trace" ethic. I've heard some arguments for (discreet!) bolted top anchors. Some local crags here are basically impossible to safely belay from, so you typically find steel ground stakes driven in a few metres back from the crag - they feel solid, but maybe a couple of bolts could be even safer? I might get myself shunned by traditionalists for even thinking that!!

@jcmchammy @Badgardener I'll definitely be back - and I found particularly with the multipitch, we were alternating leads and the bolted belay points made it so easy. It would have to be a winter activity for me at this latitude though... 19°/20° this week seems just right. Don't think I could stand the heat here in summer.

@sorex From the ground, I thought the foot holds looked slightly better it's an interesting route.
