STAR LETTER: Time for a new view

I'm writing to add support to the rebolting of the abseil anchors at Sergeant Crag Slabs.
The slabs undoubtedly hold some of best single pitch slab routes in the Lakes yet the area surrounding the crag is environmentally sensitive, harbouring some beautiful mountain flora. The trees at the top of the crag need to be preserved. Sadly experience shows that as climbers we're generally not good at leaving abseil slings to protect the trees - just look at the ring barking damage on popular crags such as Shepherds. I certainly don't see two discreet abseil bolts as the "thin end of the wedge" scenario at all. Most climbers are far too aware and proud of our Lakeland climbing heritage to let bolts stray onto routes. Climbing moves on and develops whether we like it or not, so it'd be good to see our own views developing as well - enabling us to look after the beautiful places that we climb in.

the last time i visited SCS, i wondered what all the fuss was about. the so called 'sensistive' descent path is simply grass. it's made of the same stuff as many hundreds of square miles of lake district fell. it's a wholly spurious argument.

here's a simple solution that doesn 't need bolts, pegs or other 'permanent' gear:

you get to the top of your route. you set up an ab station that you use all day. you pull your ropes through each time. at the end of your day, one person abs off, the other walks down carefully.

hey presto... no bolts, no pegs, no problem.
