Sorry, but this is bull****. It takes about 15 minutes to strip a route. Put the holds in the dishwasher (a proper industrial one), makes for another 20 minutes. Setting a route - between 1 and 2 hours , depending on grade (the easier the faster) and type of wall (vertical can be less than an hour even).

All you have to block are the two adjacent rows of quickdraws to make it safe enough - that doesn't do too much harm I'd say!
