WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?! Angry

I don't know what the state of things is in the sport today, but when I climbed, there was a lot of controversy over whether or not it was ethical to place permanent anchors, and whether they should be removed if you found one.

The group I climbed with subscribed to the notion that if there were no permanent anchors placed, then you should not place any, and if there were, you should leave them in place - because removing them only encouraged people to place more.

Then again, we could afford such ethics as we climbed more moderate, established routes.
