This bullshit about having to be identifiable for your opinion to count has got to stop. Surely it is the amount of coherence and logic that makes an argued position convincing. Once it comes down to who you are then us peasants have nothing to say worth listening to and the rock Gods can set the standard.
Gluing back rocks or enhancing a stance is unethical the climb should be left as natural as possible. Trundling the loose s*h*i*t would be less intrusive environmentally.
