Whoa Kieren!

I didn't make a single comment about your climbing talent. How would I know how you climb and why would I care? I was making fun of your ability to detect the quality of fixed gear from the ground. Take a chill pill. Sorry about the ego.

I didn't inspect the crux fixed wire closely nmonteith as I had placed a bomber nut about a foot below it and it's difficult when you're trying to pull through that crux to stop and look at it (as you may remember). But thanks for your concern. I guess I am pretty scary.

Interesting what you had to say about the stuff you saw at Yosemite though. And the stuff about Araps. What do you think about fixed gear (again irespective of their safety) on these routes? Should most of it be removed? What would you do with the gear I've mentioned on Trojan? How about the piton up at the start of Kachoong's roof? There's good gear around it. Should it theoretically be removed?

Anyone else have an opinion?

P.S. Check the egos guys and please, be nice. I was hoping this would make for interesting discusion...
