First Top Rope Ascent	28-Feb-2003 At 10:32:52 AM	oweng

My opinion would be that top roped ascents should be noted in guides, but not given a name,e.g. "The face left of XX has been top roped at grade YY" If people are allowed to claim top roped ascents as first ascents, it seems less likely that someone will at a later stage come back and bolt the climb to make it leadable (assuming the line was top roped due to lack of protection). Since leading is what climbing is all about, id prefer to see only lead ascents recognised. This makes me officially a hypocrytical bastard, as last months Argus contains a top-roped first ascent that I wrote up and sent in......
