You didn't climb it you engineered it.

If you put a #10 nut into each bolt does that count as trad?

That may be too bomber! ^^^^ Place a smaller nut and put a screamer on it.

BOOM!
That's called a mic-drop folks.
Alot more engineering went into modern trad gizmos than bolts.
And if you can't climb it with bolts but a 13 y.o. can you're a pussy.

Such a topic can only be solved by a 4-20 discussion requiring 8 thousand word dueling manifestos on pearl street

If you did any sort of climbing training before hand in your life, it's really just aid.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
