In reply to Lankyman:
> Is there some local ethic that prevents the first part of Firetail being bolted? Is the first section part of a trad line?
The first section appears to be common with the neighbouring route Thrasher - which is described as trad although it shares Firetail's first crux and uses the bolt there. Firetail is, however, the earlier route; it was done in April last year while Thrasher was only done this month. Both routes, though, were done by the same person - Simon Bischoff, the subject of this video - so maybe he had already spotted the largely trad potential of the later line and thus used trad gear as much as possible on the shared ground when first doing Firetail.
Just conjecture, though!
