I offered a few choice opinions to the climbers in question - not that it made the blindest bit of difference. It's put me in a right royal grump all day, idiots.

What a pair of fucking cocks.

They could have at least had the common courtesy to actually go on the lead, at least then it gives the crag a chance to break their legs.

What a twat! Might be a coincidence but I had a walk round Lawrencfield with the missus last weekend and saw some "tools" abseiling with crampons pretty much down the line of that unclimbed project in the roadside bit! I was gonna have a word but just at that point she slipped over and hit her back on a rock and in the ensuing blame-session "why did you make me walk round here etc" I didn't get round to it. Was angry with myself afterwards though.  Possibly the same infidels?

Unfortunately it probably happens more than people think. Dry tooling at Denham has certainly scratched the rock in the recent past.
It seems some winter climbers have no respect for rock.

I have tried to speak to the cretins in the past to voice disapproval but it's sometimes difficult when you're faced with an ice axe...

Sounds like the same guy as the newbie 'Calum' on here who's at risk of giving CLM a bad name.

Monday - Ran about
Tuesday - bouldering for couple of hours at westway
Wed - Ran about, almost ended up enjoying it, the sunshine was lovely
Thurs - bouldering at westway
Friday- westway
Sat - Core exercise, always feel good after doing them
Sun - westway, felt good

STG(basically this summer): Continue working to grip handholds as lightly as possible.  Go bouldering outside in london for the first time, do dry tooling bouldering project without falling off and breaking my back. When back in scotland try to onsight firestone, have a look at the hurting,  get over to skye and do some new routes.  When in cham, do joe le taxi, try a new route on the dru, try a nice unclimbed steep ice line that I know of, get on thai boxing, fall off thai boxing.  Explore the argentiere glacier more and do some new routes.

LTG(basically this winter):  Have my eye on two incredible scottish winter lines.  If I can get up one of them, it would be ace.

Yeah, I'm sure they'd be psyched for some night tooling  ;)

There are define crampon scratches on one of the descents at Back Bowden too.

Penii the lot of them.

You should have seen the descent down the back of cwym idwal this march, and infact all of tryfan north ridge was scratched up to fuck. Obviously these are not sandstone-grit crags (but the rock ain't all that hard) but it goes to show how 2 months of winter use makes it look gash the rest of the year.

I'm in no way justifying it, but those are at least in the mountains. the descent down the back of idwal has always been scratched to fuck for as long s I have been going there.

I think half the problem is cunns who are too lazy to take off crampons when they aren't actually need.

Crampons on lowlying outcrops is totally taking the piss.

I lead some easy corner crack, into which I put all my rack, I figured if I was carrying it I might as well place it.

Then stuck a top rope on Chalkstorm, checked where the holds were and did it first try. It had some wicked moves, I especially liked using a pinky mono to cross the overlap. Could solo it but not sure if I will.

Next day, shunted Obsession Fatale. It lures you in, easy moves to the break, easy moves over the break, a slightly tricky mantle onto a ledge, then you can almost reach the top, stand up on the next smear then I fall. Only onto the shunt, not the 10m to the ground and two broken legs fortunately. Couldn't do the last couple of moves, but I think on a top rope it'd be easier than with a shunt which was pulling me slightly off balance. Tempting to go back and try this again.

From his blog:

"3rd week - Wales - got rained on, went to parisellas cave, was the most fun I've ever had bouldering, all the moves were pretty consistent, no one stopper move. Almost did some traverse. Then went dry tooling on some choss the next day. "

Which is followed by this pic of Holyhead mountain......



Anyone else slightly alarmed?

What a complete tool.
