The idea was to publish all known info about an area. Those guides of mine were published towards the end of my climbing "career", often accompanied with just my wife (a non-climber). It was hoped that people would visit the area and provide feedback as to a climbs/areas worthiness. That did not happen. The guides were published in the hope that they could be easily maintained/updated. That did not happen. This is the first feed back I have seen on these areas!

I am also of the opinion that if it is not in a guidebook then people will continue to "rediscover" these areas and write them up, so I published everything to avoid that situation arising.

It's your guide so you do what you want but I'd contact the WVCC before you get too carried away.
