Thanks A5. That was a really interesting and informative read.

I can completely understand your comments about existing 'fixed gear' that was not integral to the first ascent. This factor is the main reason why I would be hesitant about removing gear from a route I don't really have a complete historical knowledge of I guess.

Actually, it sounds like you might be the guy to initiate another discusion I wanted to bring to this forum to get peoples thoughts. I was thinking of starting a new Topic about clean aid vs the hammer. This is something I know little about and I'd be interested to hear what the local opinions are on this subject. What are your thoughts on the subject? Are you interested in initiating the Topic?
