Would it be possible to explain the ethics behind your bolting projects? This looks like imposing your own climbing ideology on less developed climbing areas. As a general discussion rather than a critique. In this video you are using trad gear to help bolt the lines, would these lines not be protectable with trad gear? In which case are you destroying trad lines? Do you get invited to bolt a new sector by local authority, climbing association or do you just go for it? Do you put up mixed lines where it is appropriate? How do you strike the balance between keeping lines natural and useable in these remote areas? Any feedback would be appreciated
I'm sure this is a major question everywhere. I'm sure some couldn't be protected by trad gear. Also it's nice to have sports routes. I'm assuming but Nepal seems to be inviting to climbing or understanding it's economic value. Maybe they allow the bolting to hope to bring people to the area.
Namaste, What you know about Nepal's rock climbing scene? We have less then 100 climbing route all over Nepal and climbing is developing very slowly. If somebody open the route what's your problem. That's clean limestone not possible to do trad climbing. Thank you
"In episode 12 of Josh and Charlotte's travels around the world, they are in Nepal discovering the lesser known delicacies of climbing in the mountaineering capital of the world. It is important to note that Charlotte and Josh worked in tight collaboration with local developers and land owners before bolting any of these routes." From description

Hey guys, did you publish your lines (location, grade etc...) anywhere? I'd love to go check them out =)
