That's low. Is it chipped in or written on the stone?

I'm surprised there's not more of this shit that goes down given the sheer amount of visitors The Peak has to put up with. But yeah, it's horrible.

Disgraceful. They could have at least included the grade if they are going to go to the trouble of labelling their new problem.

Maybe the same ones who left a note there explaining that they had badly glued, and circled with chalk an unnecessary foothold which they had broken. Bloody Goths...

Unnecessary for you, but the only foothold a couple of mate's and quite a few other people use. It's not the most asthetic pieces of rock, the glued on hold doesn't look that bad.

(For the record, I neither used, broke or glued the hold but did see it on Sunday.)

Boulder problems, like everything, have a finite lifespan (but I'll leave that discussion for another time).

If it's been there since the weekend, the least they could have done is come back when the glue had dried, removed the excess glue around the hold, scrubbed the chalk and removed the note. If you're going to mess about with nature in a national park at least keep it low key.

I'm guessing the two broken holds which have been placed in the crack to the left of GW for safe keeping are next.

You might want to have a look around next time you're in the peak national park and see how many natural vs non natural things you see. If a non climber finds thenselves by GW it will most likely be to have a poo!
