Hmm, given our exploitation of mineral resources the crag is probably only there because it is of no industrial/economic use to us. We do move mountains when we wish. I wonder what the slate crags in Llanberis "thought" before...? Should the crag be unconcerned as it watches other transient atoms destroyed by a plague of humanity? Does it care if the ecosystem it supports is destroyed? Are we supposed to emulate the attitude of the crag as climbers and destroy the environment around it carelessly since the crag will remain? Why not chip the hell out of it, most of the crag will survive? Is this just a naieve piece of feel-good poetry of little value today? Does Mick cry over greeting card rhyme?
