Hey Ashfall, I've been in contact with a few of the locals up there. Will be up that way with work. Might see you around.
I wouldn't get too bogged down in these crappy ethics debates though. Just remember that ultimately, debolters can undo someone's work alot easier than it can be done in the first place. Keeps things (a bit) honest.
So, be prepared to be able to retreat off a multipitch if you find a shiny anchor missing... or some other critical pre-placed bit of gear.
