Er, the click on this comment, to let you in on it, was to praise aid on his ascent. The best man was on holiday...
To steal or not to steal, we do not own the rock, we just borrow it and lend it to our egos. FA's are a great part of climbing, and i feel the more competition the better, when i used to work projects, I used to invite able people to push me harder, Richard Williams used to drive me up the wall, Adam Long, a great inspiration, Aid Jebb totaly burned me of on that route, and even though i can say it hurt like hell when he told me "alright pat, i stole your route!" I admired the talent and his casual attitude to the route. So your comment is a little mis guided and there really is no hard feelings, Wish it was me that did it though, did it not see a repeat recently...
(good luck remapping the lake district by the way!)
