I was behind the team of 2 on Young Warrior on Sunday that did the cutting: one was from Tacoma and one from Vancouver, WA.
I saw the tat hanging on his harness at the top of 1 and encouraged him to leave any rap tat he finds on other anchors at Beacon. His argument was tat from '07 (it is marked 07) is suspect and by removing it he was doing future newbies a favor by preventing them from top roping off the webbing.
Is his argument valid? Sure. I personally have never understood why people leave tat on hangers that are specifically designed so that one doesnt have to leave tat but I'm sure you guys can argue for another 2 pages about why it makes sense.
