Green Drag-On is a CRAG climb, regardless of what the weather is doing at the time, not a full-on winter adventure as BCollins would like to think. Like RR666 says, what if everyone pounded pins into crag climbs just because it was snowing?
If BCollins wants to pound pins and climb in winter conditions, he should have headed up Mt. Index or Mt. Snoqualmie or something. Pope may be right that BCollins's 1 ascent isn't going to change the climb, but what if lots of people find it OK to repeat his actions?
Its good to have genteel discussions about this and I respect Pope for being an old-school bad ass, but truthfully I find his and BCollins's logic on this issue to be very self-contradicting and flawed
