yup, J, i definitely agree with you.
do not bolt it back on. do not chip a new start. do not glue it back on. bolting it on is a poor choice of ethics.
in general, a route that is meant to be climbed is the route that is there after all the holds that can be pulled off are gone. if you can't climb a route in it's current form, leave it alone and get stronger climbing something else.
it's bad enough that every time i walk past atd with someone new to the area i have to explain that the mess of chipped holds and plastic bolted onto the wall was done years ago, at a time when people didn't know any better. i'm actually surprised that 'the person' who originally did it hasn't gone back and cleaned their mess up. 2 eyesores 50 ft from eachother would not be cool.

Great Video
Very cool the tape was running!
Those "eyesores" make for great drytooling training in the winter though!
