But then again, I find the vaste amounts of chalk on many cliffs have an even stronger impact on the environment. I am currently in Bleau (thank god it's wonderful!) and I see so much over-chalking - and no brushing at all. I think I'll stick to using poff and a bit of chalking, but more important: BRUSHING (!!!). stay clean... maybe someone wantend to make sure his dogs, kids and wife will not leave the place while the big dude dangles around on the wall? ;)

I know some guys that bolt way more then they climb. which is ending up with a bunch of route that are not worth climbing let alone bolting. But like you said it's Canada. but I am worried about the area getting a bad rap. maybe that bolt is being use to tarp off a boulder problem ( that would suck) I have seen it before
