In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
Now that is what I call exposure!
The UKC article seems to be an translated (presumably by the Author himself) and somewhat abbreviated version of a German-language article, found here:
http://www.climbing.de/detail.php?1545
Unfortunately, the concluding paragraph in the German version—which might be intresting for fellow anoraks—is missing from the English version.
I didn't know that
>Bellavista nach „intensivem Nachputzen der Griffe“ nicht mehr mit der Route identisch ist, die ich seinerseits hinterlassen hatte.
(Bellavista, after "intensive cleaning of the holds", is not in the same state as the route was when I first climbed it.
