E,

Go for removing crap gear, fixed or otherwise. I have removed a few peices on the odd occasion where just looking at made the legs tremble (that could have been my climbing) hAving said that, i did remove it only after i had clipped it (better than nothing) then rested a placed other gear. it took a bit of bashing about but not too much the wires on the nut( all 3 wires) were looking thin and the thing was bent at 90 deg, not sure it would have held me (i'm really FAT) but my community service message was that at least other wont be mislead into thinking it was good.

have doe the same with at least 2 pitons but that was when i was clipping them and the sotra fell out into my hand..nice suvionerr but.

Havent climbed the route in question though
