just bring a digital camera with good metering, set it to the same iso, and use aperture priority mode. Take a test picture and double check the histogram. If it is good, set the camera to the same shutter speed

We climbed the classic low E grade route to get up there last summer and were pretty shocked to discover the via ferrata arrangement and the amount of fixed kit up there in general. My first reaction to seeing the UKC thread about the chopping was "good" to be honest, I'm inclined to agree with JB that if people want that tick, putting the work in to access the route without leaving fixed gear shouldn't be much of an additional hardship, and maintaining access should always be the top priority.

Collect from Sheffield (Netheredge) or Works.
That’d be perfect for my eldest if Bradders doesn’t want it.

I guess, so many times, it happens too fast, you trade your passion for glory. It’s important that you don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past, you must fight just to keep them alive

It’s a shame it has to be kept secret as I guess (pray/hope) those who are adding the bolts + access ropes are just unaware and having the information out there might prevent someone doing it again? (I obviously understand why we are not naming the area/route)
I didn’t get a chance to see the UKC thread but hopefully at least the thread creator and the recent ascentionists have been told, I guess they are the people most likely to have reinstated the via ferrata?

I know it sounds obvious, but i think there's an app for that.
You can download lightmeter apps, don't think they are very accurate, but could be a starter point, and print film is reasonably forgiving for a stop or 2 of exposure either way? Otherwise there will be tables on line for recommended exposures.
I do have a small handheld lightmeter in a leather case that I was given lying in a box somewhere, must be at least 70 years old. I could send it if it was any use? (and I could find it.....)

What perspectives do you expect to get? Given the access sensitivities, it’s a bit short sighted to do this. I would really like to do one of the routes in question. If climbing there gets banned I would be pretty peeved.
Unfortunately people are also publicising it (positively) on socials. Ignorance is bliss?

Power Club
Mon - Lattice edge campusing. 4x AM session.
Tue - DL 531 week 5. Not sparky after a weekend of poor eating and lots of alcohol. Monday's session was an error, in hindsight, I was still tired. Avoid.
Wed - AM as usual; PM back work, push ups.
Thu - AM as usual; PM thruster and Croc Rows, mumble...
Fri - farmer's, pull ups, Lattice edge mixed grips.
Sat - boxing bag.
Sun - weights. Tired.

In this instance placing new bolts and leaving ropes overnight has the potential to cause access problems. As a one off it might go unnoticed but it sounds like this one has got quite popular. I'm pretty sure it's not the sort of new normal that will go unnoticed for long.
Placing of unauthorised bolts two years ago was reported to the owner and created considerable headaches. As well as having to meet the owner on site to calm the waters, I had to take a day out to remove the hangers (after another UKBer had already wasted a day doing the same thing 6 months earlier, only for the bolts to re-appear).
It would be good if this didn't carry on here.
