I would not disfigure a nice inocent rock, but this small chunk of rock about 2 inches by 2 inches and about 1/2 in deepth was not going to be missed except by the next climber coming over the top of that roof, and the thing released with about 8 ounces of force (read as one finger gently pressing). You seriously got a problem with that? I didnt take a hammer to a jug or something, I pressed with one finger, and not even my thumb!
Edit: Ok maybe it was more then 8 ounces, but no more then I could apply with the fourth finger on my weak left hand as the right was holding on so I could lean out and look at the thing. If I can peal off the hold with one finger do you really think its going to be there much longer anyway?
