Yes that's right - the issue concerns only the ethics, standards and philosophy of free climbing. In that context drilling/chipping should be frowned upon for the reasons that most have alluded to in this thread. The environmental aspect of drilling/shipping is separate and is an issue for Parks management to address in formulating their policy - as Martin points out it is currently the same as bolting. In light of that I reckon that as time goes on it will become more and more difficult to place a bolt in cliffs in National Parks, let alone drill a perfectly round, succulent, juicy slotter pocket in the middle of a blank section of rock. BTW our agent provocateur has grown strangely quiet, now that his dastardly deed is complete
