(old route) Mesresha

I put four stars on this climb because the route is not a BOMB, I came to this route too thank all of the folks that sent I contributed a great climb. I appreciate this very much since all I did was establish and clean the route of the most dangerous loose rock ground up crux ascent. I also was curious too see how the free ascent of it had been done yet. The rest upper section anchors were placed on top rope. A climber would have to be so far off route at crux area (far right of it) to touch one loose flake? I have not touched this flake and on the upper section after the crux there was/is? one or two semi loose rocks that are can be easily avoided. I didn't bother with them myself on the first complete ascent with Mike C. Robinson of a hanging dog ascent. Taking the draws off of this route this spring, Mike calling it lame was using a kindly word for these thieves. It also happened last year removing the anchor lowering biners, one of them expensive. I can understand the temptation to steal the anchor biners, but the lead draws was outright despicable and on another climb could be potentially life threatening. Maturity and respect needs to return too Rumney. There are my first ascents with hanging draws much of the time. I won't but I could put those routes back to how they were in the R category when they were first done. That would be just stupid and vengeful on my part. That goes against the grain of my morality to climbing.
I won't reply to this comment. Not doing a repeat of last year's comments.
