Renaming/rebolting aid route/attracting a girl! 4-May-2007 At 12:42:15 PM BadBrad of the Isles

My 2c...

I think theres good arguements for haivng designated "ethic" areas as detailed in other threads at present so long as we all agree which areas are which (yep good luck with that are my thoughts as well).

Im however, definitely against renaming climbs that have been done before and had protection changed. Do we rename a route because somebody soloed it? Hell no the moves haven't changed and somebody did it first in whichever style and with that go the naming rights.

If subsequent ascensionist want bragging rights then they can say i did it without clipping x bolt, placing x piece at the crux, or after it was retrodebolted or i soloed it and people can spank over that as they wish. The fact still remains someone climbed it first, they get the naming rights.

Retro edit: Knew i shouldnt have tried to handle two posts with one message....
In the case of aid climbs being freed i think a rename is appropriate, that person is the first to do the moves on the climb so gets the rights to name.

Brad.
