IMHO "style" is the way in which you climbed, and "ethics" is the way in which you say you climbed it.
It doesn't matter how you climb a route (as long as your not chipping holds for your own ascent), but it does matter how you report your ascent. If your ascent does not ruin the experience for future ascenscionists, then to me the "style" is good. After all, climbing is about having fun and achieving personal goals. |
