chip filling at the egg 16-May-2011 At 7:58:12 PM cogsy

In reply to Lindsay's original question...
Julian Saunders filled the chips... he asked me about it and I am completely happy about it. For the record, I made the chip on the 24 (it was one of the first routes I bolted in the mtns, and it was a bit of a mistake which I am happy to have fixed up). Jules tells me the new move is much better.
The floating line has a much dodgier history. I bolted it but did not chip it. I gave it away after a couple of goes and it was subsequently chipped, as well as a bolt removed and a new anchor drilled.
The "old" glue patches are for the pulled bolt and for one of the chips that the new owner found he didn't need.

It has been done without the big chip, I think first by Scott Walter, and then by others.
Julian decided it was a bit of a travesty, and decided to fill it. He's probably right. Supposedly the grade is still 28 .. it was very soggy for the grade with the chips!!
