But.......in most of these areas, there are very strict rules regarding where and how they are to be placed. So, there aren't very many of them. Anything that might even remotely be considered a "sport" route, is waaaaayyyyy beyond my ability to climb.

Very true about the surface area, that is why knots and slings actually work quite well in sandstone.
(alot of surface area on a generally very rough surface)
