Bolt ethics and rules suggestion

Based on Maurizio Oviglia's discussion in regards bolting and some further chatting with him, we have the same opinion. Here is a draft for some bolt ethics and rules that can be further discussed which to a large extent share the suggested ethics and rules in the Tyroler declaration, which have ten articles. Here are three of them related to bolting. "- We strive to leave no trace. - The first ascent of a route or a mountain is a creative act. It should be done in at least as good a style as the traditions of the region and show responsibility toward the local climbing community and the needs of future climbers. - Both the friends of the sport climbing approach as the adherents of the adventure philosophy have a right to climb in accordance with their wishes and abilities. It should be our goal to preserve the pluralism of climbing styles, leaving them their special arenas." Here are some more specific suggestions. There are of course exceptions but in general... 1. Bolts should only be placed if they create good quality routes with great interest from the community. 2. Bolted routes should be safe relative to the grade. The risk for injury should be very low if the best practice is used. 3. Very easy short routes for kids/beginners could only have bolted anchors. 4. Abandoned routes should not be rebolted if they do not have a significant historical value. 5. Trad crags should be preserved as bolt free. However, if they do not get any traffic as such, bolts and especially anchors could be placed. 6. Opening up new crags only if it adds quality or something different to the community.
