In reply to dinodinosaur:
I can see where you're coming from - there's obviously a line "how far is too far".
Looking at photographs taken by other people who were on the climb?
Sending somebody up the climb to take those photographs?
Sending somebody up to make 3D models of the holds to build a replica?
Using a really powerful stabilised binoculars from a hill across the way (or expensive camera)?
Using photogrammetry to create a 3d model of the route?
Somewhere there is obviously a line or is it just about declaring what you did?
