I'm just explaining the history, the local ethics, and how some of the locals would view this. I have no dog in this fight, now living 2400 miles away for over 8 years. Personally I always thought the "cone of silence" (google it, kids!) around LC routes was kinda foolish and, by the 1990's, a quaint anachronism. There have even been climbing classes and instructional groups out there. So from my perspective, documenting LC doesn't bother me a bit. Others will no doubt feel differently. I also feel the the bolting ethic at the Gunks is somewhat foolish and certainly not without hypocritical aspects. But that's a whole other discussion.
