Hammering nails took a while for me. I was not a natural. My first routes preceded my entering the trade and I sucked at hammering. My difficulty placing bolts continued in later years, possibly from wailing too hard with the hammer. I broke some bits, two at belay anchors.
Climbing with Waldo and attempting over the better part of two outings to get a small section of a route furthered on stance, made me start to modify technique, this was again the case later, climbing with Aaron and the gas tube route.
Bolting is a necessary evil. Best to make them good. I have taken steps to reduce my carbon steel footprint.(I found a reliable SS dealer in Rio)
Disclaimer; the bolts on Prairie Home Companion's first pitch should not be trusted do to their age now and mine at the time of placement.
