I totally agree that the tree anchors should be kept in place as if [the person that removed the anchors] is removing them because it changes the original climb then what is killing the tree doing to the ORIGINAL CLIMB???? I don't see where he is coming from. If we want climbing to continue well into the future we need to put in place measures, such as the tree savers, to ensure this. I respect Darrin for taking the initiative and actually doing something positive for climbing and the environment. Happy and Safe Climbing, RD
