not sure if you're joking here, given that the YDS is predicated on this very ideal.

It doesn't matter. Just do whatever makes sense. If the route is too steep to clean at the end of the day and you aren't worried about someone stealing your draws, then leave 'em there. If you are really worried about climbing the true route, then make sure you are clipping from the hold that you would clip the bolt from. More times than not, this is the way the routes are bolted.

You don't see anyone calling "Jumbo Love" a pink point do you? No one cares... and if they do then they are in it for the wrong reasons.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
