IME "path repairs" too often means making steps which are more difficult to descend than the path that was there before unless you have exactly the same agility as the (generally young and fit) path builders.
Depressing how often this happens. The path down off Cairngorm towards the cafe is a prime example.
Having seen a munro without a path, path repairs are very necessary I'd argue. To see a whole mountain being scarred by walkers doesn't sit well with the outdoor access code with me
The steps are much better for the prevention of corrosion. Maybe the stairs don't look natural but the scarring from paths slipping down the side of the mountain looks much worse imho.
