Fair comment, though I am not saying don't bolt something 6 grades (or whatever) ahead of the present standard.

I am saying the 'bolter' should realistically believe they have a good chance of getting up the thing (albeit with hard work etc).

Mr Carrigan proves the point by ...

I think the issue is at what point do you take off the red tape &or car-tyre , and graciously hand the route over to all-and-sundry to havago... rather than do a GordanP and start smashing holds/bolts off because someone snitched 'my' route ...

Luv HEX ...these issues DO seem to keep cropping-up , eh ... let me look in the archives again...

Yeah , OK ... --- gfdonc seems reasonably comfy that Mikl 'completed' certain routes --- at least gfdonc didn't do what gets done all too often , and chip a few extra holds , so 'I' can claim the 1st ascent of 'my' route...--- goodonyasteve!

Screw the ‘challenges for future generations’. The present is for me, so ill chip what I want, when I want. Ill chip a hold into a chipped hold, and no-one can stop me. Not even those nosey kids and their dumb dog.

For the record, Lee Cossey is a super-talented climber and a really great guy actually.

Same surname perhaps. But I’ve never known Lee to chip. So it’s not really fair to lump em together in the same boat like that Hex.

I wasn't. If you read my post the only "boat" I was referring was the chipping one. I clearly wasn’t commenting on Ben’s ‘really great guy’ status. That's why my post was in two paragraphs. There is no connection between the two statements.
