I think removing the bolts is probably the better option when compared with leaving them in given what the coastal conditions would do to any fixed gear left behind.

I also think that any time you are making a movie about certain climbing areas, increased impact on the areas depicted is inevitable due to increased exposure of what the areas have to offer climbers. This is something that all filmmakers _should_ be thinking about…

rampage had a little northern cali action if i remember correctly. but the location seemed sufficiently vague enough to make impact a non-issue. of course, the problems looked cool enough that if i lived within three hours I would stop at every parking area on the northern portions of the 1 to find them.

it seems that removable bolts still require not-so-removable holes. right?

Unknown, he just said removable bolts that he took out when he was done.

I believe that rampage was mostly southern and central california while spray focuses on areas in northern cali. It has been a long time since I’ve seen rampage though so I could be wrong about that.

There is some mention made of impact such as Lindner using removable bolts for “Window of Opportunity”. From what I remember, access to the areas itself wasn’t really addressed.

are the featured areas the same as in rampage, or different location on the coast?

a while back there was discussion about the fragility of the dunes area crossed to access the beach bouldering by some photographer dood… how does the film address this aspect re: impact? clearly the boulders and sand are not an issue, but what about the access points?

just curious since others have made a big deal about the impact of increased attention after rampage.
