BMC Leader Ladders (13 Jan 2008)

June 2nd, 2008 Posted in Bolts
The British Mountaineering Council ‘new initiative’ has reached new heights: http://www.getoutdoors.com/goblog/index.php?/archives/2532-Worlds+Highest+Via+Ferrata-On-Mt.-Kinabalu.html  Step forward the highest ‘Leader Ladder’ in the world. Not content with the ‘Rape’ of the worlds mountains thus far, Mt Kinabalu has finally (2007 - 2008) succumbed to the ‘nut and bolt’ brigade… Can’t climb? Bolt! Don’t forget that the so-called British Mountaineering Council has thousands of ‘free bolts’ to give away; that need placing. In fact, the Meastri bolt ladder on Cerro Torre, Patagonia, is probably the highest ‘leader ladder’ in the world.
