I just saw these responses - we were obviously writing at the same time :-)

Both of the above are also correct in this and other locations. As I noted, it is complex. It deserves conversation and solutions. I would like to think that coming up with solutions that protect cultural heritage - 'cos once it's gone, it's gone - and that take into account climbers responsible usage and values is something that can be achieved.
