I also seem to remember reading an account from a climber saying the dril grooves inside the pocket were visible. - I think I remember reading that the re-naming was done at the behest of the local climbers - therefore I don't think they found it to be "OK". Ok, here are two sources: http://jamespearsonclimbing.blogspot.com/2008/03/dont-forget-to-pack-your-ethics.html http://englishdailaojeda.blogspot.com/2009/04/climbing-in-moon-hill.html I’m not sure if I understand what you are saying correctly.

Not an uncommon practice when cleaning. But I dont want to start an 8a.nu armchair flame contest, so Ill shut up now.

I mean, there are 23 shiny stainless bolts on the line already, so filling it isn't going to bother anyone aesthetically. I think filling chipped pockets is a great way to restore the original line.

Glad to see that he did French Gangster instead. What are peoples thoughts about filling in the chipped hold flush to the rock so that only the second variation (natural) can be used? Would doing more to the rock hurt more even though harm has been done, or would it be a good way to show that such chipping won't be tolerated? Opinions? Also.
