One to go...

Gym climbing at a chipped choss pile. Erik Massih estimated this variant to have "maybe three natural grips". Is a variable ethic somehow justifiable depending on the quality of the rock?

Of course! This crag has some really bad conglomerate at the base and is then covered with some of the best limestone I've climbed on. In total the north side has 400 routes, most between 7a and 8c- The locals first put up cables/ladders to reach the good rock. Now they just bolt on some holds or chip their way up the first 2 to 9 meters.
