When is a new route a new route. 25-Jan-2008 At 9:53:36 AM qman

"I'd guess that would be about right, ie if more than 50% of the route was 'gone', then what remains if combined with the 'new', would make a new route in my opinion, but I would qualify that by saying that I am generally uncomfortable* with naming anything less than half a ropelength as a 'route' ~ said while stroking trad beard without a boulder mat in sight anywhere!
(*Depends on the area, precedents already set, etc).

Acknowledgement of the original route still needs to be preserved as 'history' in ongoing guidebooks. "

A reasonable answer. however i think short routes can still be routes but anything under 10m is a little arbitary.
