Sorry about that Marty.

Was that at about the time you stopped climbing for a few years? I dont think I was maliciously going
out to steal what I thought were your projects or I would have certainly done that route of yours at
spurt.

I never really thought of boulder problems/crags as things people could own rights to (as opposed to
routes). The first I became aware of boulder prolems as "projects" was when Jules had a few projects
at Andersons (just 5 or so years ago....a long time after most of the islamabad was developed).

I think you're right though... society is to blame.
