The beauty and location of Lundy and the uniqueness of the climbing experience on the island, together with the fact we must leave it behind, create a perspective from which to consider our actions. I think the distance allows us to consider how we can improve upon what has gone before; it's definitely a case of not what you do but how you do it. That's no truer than when we consider what Lundy offers us to enjoy. The lesson we should learn from things like the wholesale bolting of Black Crag is that the beauty of any jewel is lost in our attempts to posses it. [1]
