Kent I can't believe you really feel this way! If you follow that line of thought further people would be bolting plastic holds onto the rock. Our national parks are places of beauty. If you head in with a hammer and chisel are you really doing anyone any favours? Not to mention that it's illegal and certainly against Parks code of conduct. See:

"Chipping of rock is both illegal and unethical"

Please bare in mind that this is a public forum and quite possibly read by "the powers that be". Also consider that new commers or outsiders to our sport might be forming an opinion about climbers in general based on what is said here. We are not talking about kicking a couple of loose flakes off on the way up. We are talking about deliberately manufacturing routes - something people do in gyms!

Super cool! Hydro brakes are fanastic. Rode for 6+ hours on the weekend. Nearly dead by the end of it, but very happy. Can't believe I skipped a climbing trip to go riding!
