while my text tends towards the obtuse to be sure, it wasn't that hard to comprehend that this was my first time climbing the route above the 3rd pitch, and that i had no idea it had been rebolted in the last year - it was not my intention to commit a hate-crime against the cheese-tuff, quite the opposite, and as the tr said, i didn't put in any pins, and the few that did go in this trip could be avoided in the future w/ a stickclip
agreed - future parties should bring just their exotic clean gadgets - however, till it becomes widely known (and hey, my tr wasn't THAT good , i'd hold back on the hostility for those who roll up to the base w/ metal - the ospray, for example, would have been well in his rights to throw his poo at his detractors
raging hangover this morning, combined w/ a fine fresh coat of poision oak too, so excuse me if i was reading you wrong
