[nickw691]

meh, yeah, it's just when i get typing fast i screw up.... and i am much too lazy to go back and fix it... he is not worth that much effort...

[jrox007]

dammit! Why does expert village have all these videos on rock climbing? i H.A.T.E. expert village videos!

[kezz1050]

bit harsh..my view dont do anything unless you know how to do it 100%. bolts in wrong are as strong as a cheese string and shouldnt be atempted unles your confident there perfect....though im hipacritical...i put some shit ones in last week on a climb in yorkshire...and couldnt get them out...didnt ue them at all and i hope no one else does either

[coolcat83]

serene is simpler and covers it all, also no one should be teaching anchor building online. it's dangerous

[nickw691]

probably true. but some people wont bother get taught, i'd rather them have half an idea from here then no idea and die.... least it gets them out there, and hopefully in doing so run into someone who is experianced and kind enough to show them the right way

[atthecrux]

Probably not a good idea! All we need is a bunch of crappy bolts drilled by someone with a YouTube education. Allot of time there will be natural pro to use just bring extra long webbing. Also bolts are a touchy subject at a lot of places. Irresponsible bolting can lead to places being closed to climbers. There are even some routes that are meant to be lead and not TR'd. If you can't climb the grade, work up to it.

[nickw691]

good call!! valid point!!

[nickw691]

dude.... u should show people the proper way to install a bolt in rock if there is not one already on site that is useable...

[hikerclimber007]

yeah, that way I wouldn't have to waste my time with pesky gear.  I can just carry a drill and bolts everywhere I go, it will be safer and waaaaaaay more fun! VROOOM VROOOM HERE COME HALF-INCHERS!!!!!!!!

you're an idiot.

[nickw691]

seek help loser... too many people put them in wrong... and need to know how to do it right.. people like u!! a smart person knows u use it at the top as a good anchor, u don't use them all the way up.... u must be from the u.s. only then could u possiobly be so arrogent and stupid!! i hope u fall on your next climb!!

nickw691, if you're going to call someone stupid and yourself smart, you might try spelling "possibly" and "arrogant" correctly, otherwise you come out looking like the dumbass.
