Isn't it as much a safety thing as anything else? Somebody mentioned on here that they'd been there on a windy day and a perma-draw dropped to the floor next to them with the bolt still attached. Obviously not an issue with glue ins.

What’s the deal with the fixed rope at Chee Cornice that’s been there all week?

There’s some bright orange ones (sponsored?) currently in-situ through the top roof on the upper tier at Malham. Looks like a project as it’s too far right to be breach of peace I think but I could be wrong. You can pretty much see them from Skipton!
