In reply to Merlin:
Clean up!? The way this botch job has been undertaken is apalling. If everyone went about cleaning stuff in that manner at the Dewerstone there would be no bushes or trees left at the crag.
What on earth was the purpose of cutting down the tree next to Colonels Arret? It wasnt in the way of the route? I can't think of any reason to justify the destruction done. The routes listen in the guide for the area "cleaned" have no stars and are very very short. Surely when they have been left to become so overgrown there is a reason for it.
The only way that what has been done is acceptable is if it has been undertaken by the management of the land. If not, to the people who felt the need to trash the Dewerstone, please conduct all further attempt at landscaping on your own propery!
