Broken Hold Amnesty
October 25, 2008, 09:50:41 pm
After reading about the pebble loss on WSS will anyone own up to any accidental rock breakage?

I took a bit from the lip crimp of 'back breaker' North Boulder, Harrisons. about size of KFC popcorn chicken.

One trip to font, anomomous climbing buddy broke the holds off 'Hale Bopp', and worst i think he still has them as he tried to find someone that could re-glue them, but failed

Aye, I keep brushing my teeth twice a day and now I need a filling.

Moral?  Don't brush, mofos.

I blame the regular little f*ck holes who turned up when i last went. We only stayed about 10 mins as we could see it was not in conditions. We left a dozen of them pissing about saying "Oh its wet, nevermind"

yes Ian your right, but i bet when some punter sees you with a brush, he won't be thinking, "look how gentle he his with that brush such care and love for the rock", no he will think im gonna get a brush so i can look like a real climber.

You are completely right. It would be a real shame to see high rocks end up like the mess Harrisons is , which is slowly starting to happen .
