New pitons on Watch Tower 9-Feb-2005 At 10:09:35 AM Breezy

Message

I have read this thread with interest and it is quite easy to see both points of view.
One thing i would say is; If Simon had not admitted to "the changes made" i wonder how much "heavier" people's opinions would be ?
I think from past posts on this forum that had Simon not admitted to this all sorts of abuse would have been fired at "the piton placer".
I think one of the main points is that if changes are well thought out, made by experienced people, with a high level of experience at the crag in question, then there can be no "real arguement" rather a difference in opinion.
I have not been at Araps for about 5 years but from what i can gather on this forum changes that have been recently made at Araps are pretty much 50 / 50, some have been good some bad ......... thats life.
Well done Simon for backing up your actions under your own name.
