Pearls from the Shell (6a+)

Noticed yesterday that the original loweroff up on the right has been stripped and a new one created lower down the route. This has spoiled the finish of the route, has this been done for safety reasons?

The new loweroff looks to be handily placed for working a possible new line between Brachiopods and Pearls.

Apparently because the rope rubbed over a sharp edge when lowering and top roping.

Thanks, but I didn't notice that being a problem when I did it a few weeks back, I thought the finishing moves were quite good and it seems a shame for the route to have been shortened in this way.
