So hopefully when I take my kid to the cliff in a few yrs time he can climb the route in the fashion it's author intended.

Thanks - I will.

Neil - you of all people should understand - you've established 100's of great routes in fine fashion all over the shop - how would you feel if in 10 yrs time those routes are considered completely unsafe or unresaonable propositions and have bolts added all over them? That's just what's happening here, those routes were intended to be climbed in their original form. I think that should be respected and preserved.

It's not about safety, it's about style.
