Hey hex-TROLL, your opinion might be worth 2 cents if we knew who you were... for my 2 cents worth... nobody 'owns' a route. It was there before HB came along, and will be there when he is dust and history (in many fruitfull years time one hopes!). However, it is about RESPECT. So it isn't as safe as playing lawn bowls... I'm sure your ego could find something else to climb? I am all for replacing old bolts with new (Great work Neil!) but retrobolting is a distinct lack of respect for the route, history and the first ascentionist, be it HB, me or you (if you put up routes?) If you establish a route, I would also defend that route from retrobolting.
