Yes we feel passionately about the duty of care and the nature of the protection that is considered as
part of the first ascent team. That has been passed on in a private forum.

PS here is an updated route description (& Name) from Nic Allan:

No Ego
40m 16* Starts roughly 6m to the right (facing the cliff) of the first pitch
of A fundamental difference of opinion, which is also the same belay as for
the top of the 1st pitch of dry weather road (which belayed here using the
single mild steel bolt). Up rib (first bolt has fixed D shackle and bolt
plate) passing white slab, moving below and right of small tree. Then
straight up for approximately 5-8m then tend left and up to belay. 8 bolts
on route (all with fixed hangers). DBB with single captive ring on each. FA
