The 8a anti-chipping campaign

Debate/Jens: In the beginning of the 90-ies chipping was quite common and not so many protested about the activity. Later the climbing community started to think chipping was wrong and today almost all climbers say they do not support it. Most steep routes in Railay have been manufactured and some other popular chipping areas are found around Nice and in northern Italy. The sad part is that it actually seems to continue and that some say that they support it. Please list the crags where you find Poorly/Mainly chipped routes and keep mark them in the 8a data base. This might have an impact on the future.
