Macciza,
In terms of ethics, you can justify just about anything you wish. In terms of Natural Law, perhaps we shouldn't even be climbing. In terms of Hedonism we should be maximizing pleasure and minimizing pain, again contrary to much climbing. Utilitarianism maximizes overall "happiness", so sport climbers probably rule, or perhaps NPWS rules and all climbing should be banned. Machiavellianism seems prevalent.
