In reply to Mick Ryan - UKClimbing.com:
Just as a point of interest concerning the "knife-blade peg", on this route.
I think it needs clarifying whether this peg was in situ, or whether it was placed by Dave. I'm assuming that it is a hammered peg. If it was placed by Dave, then is it considered acceptable to hammer pegs on British sea cliffs these days?
Personally, I consider that modern new routes established on sea cliffs using fixed iron-mongery are a bit meaningless as it won't actualy be possible to repeat such routes in a similar style due to the rapid deteriation of the fixed gear.
