Wow, this escalated quickly.
Sometimes a route cannot be bypassed without certain measures. So every time a journey hits a questionable section, they should end their trip and go home? Who's to say the tertiary or quaternary route isn't questionable as well or even has to be dealt with in a manner to be frowned upon? Then every human being should be reprimanded. We're all hypocrites and the concept of 'treading lightly' is IMO subjective to the situation. Backup routes were taken, he minimized his footprint and also, the route in question does get regularly maintained. Having a route alone in any area is the biggest footprint of all. We're shooting ourselves in the foot over this kind of bickering. Get over it people.
Still a great trip report and enjoyed going through it. Don't let these types get you down. Continue your journeys and expeditions at your discretion.
