Whoa! Just did a Google search of Ivan Greene and this is the suggestion window:
Clicked it and came across this from Climbing Narc.com:
Chipping Caught On Film In New York
Excerpt:
Update - Statement from Edelrid:
We would like to state unequivocally that EDELRID does not support the practice of chipping. It is our belief that the challenge, and the pleasure of climbing, lies in rock formations, as they occur naturally.
With this in mind we can state that we find the recent behaviour of Ivan Greene to be completely unacceptable, and we would like to take this opportunity to clarify that he is no longer an EDELRID sponsored athlete, and in actuality has not been supported by the brand for over 12 months.
We will be removing all references to Ivan Greene from the EDELRID website with immediate effect.

Climbing routes You may have done and thought they were great often involve a portion of cleaning/ALTERING work.
You are comparing apples to hours of work with a 5lb sledge and chisels.

Well personally:
I find the whole 'Dual Penatration Magazine' format to be about as entertaining and representative of what's going on as 'Faux News' station !

The biggest surprise in all this kerfluffle is that people are actually surprised.
Ivan chipping is not a new thing. He has a history of chipping.
Next thing, you'll tell me Timy Fairfield is chipping.

Why would a rope company sponsor a boulderer?
Because a boulderer doesn't have any money to fix their car and they use the rope to tow the car home.
This shows that edelrid ropes are strong and good.

When I first heard about this I searched Ivan Greene and landed on: www.BrooklynBoulders.com
I contacted them to try and get Ivan's response, today I recieved the following from Lance Pinn:
Thanks man,
He says he was cleaning up after someone else's mess. He will have his lawyer release a statement shortly I think.
