I think he should shove it up his arse to be used as a piece of in-situ protection.

Oh, go on then he should put it back on the climb, yes.

In reply to JohnBoy:

btw, are you going to go through each thread to weed out people voting in the wrong one, or count them as voting 'yes' on the basis that anyone stupid enough to do that should count as a negative vote?

In reply to JohnBoy:
Yes

Put it back - historical vandalism I'd call it. Can't wade through the whole thread but is it 100% certain it was 'placed' rather than natural? Of course the whole wall is quarried anyway!!

In reply to JohnBoy:

I'm errring toward a YES and Simon Lee is the one to replace it, ideally.

On one hand I think, well , we've moved on, big cams, sticky rubber, let's make it harder and remove the artificial protection and hold.

On the other hand, nice to look up at the route, spy the chockstone and say 'yeah Joe Brown climbed that fat crack, no big friends or sticky rubber then. He did it in rubber-soled gym shoes, fag hanging out of his gob, dropped a great big f*ck off rock to serve as is only pro' at half-height."

Hard as nails those old climbers from the black and white days.

In reply to Mick - Rockfax USA:
Only there used to be more than one chockstone Mick, so if people are gonna stick to the 'historical' reasons arguement, by rights the other should be replaced too

Personally, i say f' it, its out, leave it that way - it'll never go back in exactly where it was before anyway, hence the character of the route is changed for good (if only slightly) whether you like it or not.........

In reply to Arm Chair Critic:

In reply to JohnBoy:

No, don't do it Simon !!

Fcuk it, if it goes back in then it'll just get taken out again anyway, so it doesn't really matter.

In reply to JohnBoy: For Gods Sake is this debate still going on?, went away for a week and its still running.

Put the fecker back, and tell simon to get a smegging life

In reply to Graham Booth:


I'm guessing, but he probably has a life already.
Sounds like he's quite happy with it.

As regards taking the chockstone out of RE - what an inspired move.

In reply to JohnBoy: If it is of any interest, I asked Warwick Baird (former Blue Mountains trad hard man and Australian hero type) as a totally impartial observer what he thought and he said (put on Australian accent) "That's just bloody vandalism put the thing back." He also said nasty things about the motives and parentage of the perpetrator, as would appear to be the Australian way.

Therefore Warwick Baird says PUT IT BACK.

In reply to JohnBoy:
Yes

In reply to JohnBoy: No leave it out please

In reply to JohnBoy:

Haven't read through all the threads on the issue but was thinking this morning that if we remove all objects inserted by human hands to protect our ascent then surely all bolts are going to have to go?

In reply to JohnBoy: No
