Obviously enjoy?? All you could have reasonably concluded is that I have climbed on one of them.

I actually don't endorse chipping/manufacturing, and try to avoid climbing manufactured routes as much as possible. However I realise how impossibly grey and confused the issue becomes when you look at it from a route cleaning/preparation perspective.

More significantly and from a pragamatic perspective, I recognise how impotent the act of refusing to climb them is.

You've got me nailed on one front - I'm even more strongly opposed to heavily manufactured low-grade sport routes! Although I've gotta admit such routes would be a sight to behold - chipped incut jugs between dinner plates.
