i guess you are saying you're in favour then... was it you neil?? ;)
i reckon in this case it is a bit of a shame, the route did go well with the chip... and it is just so bloody pedantic to fill this couple of chips given the amount of nonsense that gets dislodged when putting up a new route in the bluies, a lot of gue is gonna be needed to replace the tonnes of dinner plates!... plus i've never been one to care much about the finer points of climbing ethics (ie top roping thru anchors hehe..) but even I think it looks really ugly at the moment, becasue from the bottom of the crag you can see grey blobs everywhere..
