it was a curiosity question... to see what things fall under safety, access, ethics, entitlement, etc...
all of the above are gray areas if you ask me.
i don't mean to start up a bolting thing again and i don't even know who the militant anti-bolters are on this site... but i'd be curious to know what they (and others) think about big cleaning efforts like this. pulling off loose blocks permanently changes the rock and is done to make things safe for climbers, right? all done by the judgement of some individuals.
how different is this than bolting a route?
just a thought??
i was replying to the statment that the supreme court couldn't be unbiased.
all of the branches have their biases... this was understood when the idea of checks and balances was installed.
two intros to the same news story.... if you ask me - the different news outlets should stop pretending they aren't biased. everyone knows which outlets lean which way. if only the editors would just admit it.
