The damage is minor enough but should there have been any at all? One of the things that's being checked at the moment is to see if the place has a designation like a Special Protection Area or a Natural Heritage Area etc. It may not be "bad" but is it good enough? In some ways it rankles because what was left was so easily taken care of but they didn't make the effort.

so the pics are too big...

Only when I downloaded them and tried to attach them to a new post. It doesn't explain why your links didn't work. Looked ok to me.

Thanks again for your help Pawel.

Agreed. Please take some photos if you get a chance. It sounded like an amazing event enjoyed by all attending but I'm sorry - fizzy drinks companies can't just come in to these incredible landscapes and run extremely high profile events and benefit from the publicity to sell more fizzy drinks without taking full responsibility to keep the place pristine.

I'm interested to see what sort of state the place is left in so please keep us informed Pawel. Thanks.

Got bitten in the carpark at the back of my apartment block in Dun Laoghaire this eve!!!

And I agree with how Stephen put it

Yay, I win! 

Has anyone done the hoovering since I left?

I hope we're back to Dawes because I certainly don't belittle climbers achievements.

To be fair I think your point has shifted slightly from "not using pads is stupid" (which I don't agree with) to "saying you can't use pads is stupid" (which I completely agree with).

Never mind Dawes. Great climber, super impressive record but he is one of the biggest wind up merchants in the game and has his own very personal perspective. He's entitled to it. I'm entitled to mine.

I don't pay much heed to folk who tell me that I can't / shouldn't do something (I'm not a huge fan of bolting or chiselling mind).

I didn't get into climbing or diving for that matter for the "rules". 


[Edit: to be fair to Dawes - he got you thinking which is probably the only point he was trying to make]
