Totally agree with you Rod, Simon and Shiltz. There is never any justification to chipping. There are heaps of top quality routes out there with bouldery cruxes. Just because one person likes sustained, power endurance climbing doesn't mean everyone does. If sustained routes are your thing then go find them, don't try and make them. If you want every route to be a three star classic perfectly suited to you, go set routes inside. |
