Roadtrip Questions

Lately, I have spent quite a bit of time driving. The wide open spaces got my mind going. These questions were bouncing around in my head.

Is a first ascent for the first ascentist or the community?

Who decides where a line goes?

Does better beta include different start holds?

How many starts can a line have?

Why does the climbing community accept the grade of a first ascent before its repeated?

Why doesn't climbing companies put clauses in their contacts that require community service, i.e. developing areas, for their pro climbers?
