Point taken, and Ive searched for those other spots, but this area is ideal for so many reasons and the only issue i thought may upset was LHV, (mentioned that history already) the other climbs along crowlands wall are very rarely visited apart from the popular Parrot. Just a little surprised a few are upset, i suspect a few others jump to conclusions and suspect worse even if they never climb there

(including bolting next to cracks,- breaking flakes, retrobolting

Yeah Stu, dont i know it, and with the new RIC its a good relationship we want to foster, and i dont know if they're ignorant or just shet stirrers but the faceless prosecution on a witch-hunt ask a lot of questions on a public forum from a person they dont know.
