Your sarcasm is duly noted. However,, noone is stopping you from taking them out but yourself. All you need do is climb the route without clipping them and then feel free to take them out.

BTW, there was only one fixed tube down low when I climbed it. Its a big runout with one #6 camalot. Take 2.

Also, for any Victorians that want to pick up the gauntlet. Some tassie boys climbed Lay Back and Think of England without clipping the insitu tube so they bootied it. It was passed on to me for this route and i left it placed in the crack. So the challenge is on if any of you guys are even capable of climbing this crack, come get your gear back! I doubt anyone is up for it. A pity, really.
