See title etc.



 

[GCW]

You got an admirer Dave?

[dave]

I'm flattered but spoken for.

[Duma]

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

[Paul B]

A mate showed me this a while ago so I guessed everyone else would have seen it. Absolute disgrace

was haben sie gemacht?

Germans need putting in their place 

[Bubba]

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.

[Percy B]

Exactly.... no-ones going to go there to hire a car. Disgraceful

[Stubbs]

Get Jim over there to flip the millstone over using the power of his hams?

[dave]

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

Its carved in. Shit if i wanted my local crags looking like almscliff I'd move to leeds.

[Adam Lincoln]

Check out the massive sun carving at the top of End of the affair.

[lagerstarfish]

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

[dobbin]

I think its something to do with Goths : LINK

[lagerstarfish]

Shirley goths would be lurking about in the miserable dark hole where Gorilla Warfarin etc are

[shrimp_boy]

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...

Is it good for thinning monkey blood as well?

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.)

[Fiend]

"Curbar: WTF?" is generally my reaction whenever I try to climb routes there

[shrimp_boy]

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.

[Stubbs]

If you're going to mess about with nature in a national park at least keep it low key.

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!

WTF?

[cofe]

what hold has broken and been glued?

[Jim]

what hold(s) has broken and been glued?

Question?

[Slide]

One of the low right foot nubbins some people use to pop for slopey rail on GW.  Not me tho.

[Jim]

someone bothered glue one of those back on?
they must be really be short of things to do in life

[cofe]

It would appear Curbar continues to attract muppets:



Directly above End of the Affair.

[dave]

Saw that a few weeks ago - Mr & Mrs fatboyslimfast reconed it'd been there some time. It fucking beggars belief really.

[cofe]

I've contacted the press office at the Peak Park in case they want to try to run something in the local press highlighting how fucked up this shit is in a National Park.

[dave]

nice one.

[SA Chris]

Start a Facebook campaign called "Julia Lennart is a chipping whore". The message will eventually get through to her.

[cofe]

I think it's Julia and Lennart, they'd just forgotten their ampersand chisel that day. I'd say they're traceable mind...

[dave]

Lennart's a german name right? So it could actually be the same cunts who did this:



curbar seems to be ground zero for lovestuck teutonic vandals.

Update on this one - was passing last weekend. hard to say if that's an improvement or not:

I  reckon you should have used grey, not orange, Dave.

If only I'd packed tinned tuna not salmon that day.

Julia and Lennart

Russian bride?  http://www.dream-marriage.com/russian-women-testimonials.html?start=9&ini=0

Sociologists?  http://www.sociology.gu.se/english/?languageId=100001&contentId=936164&disableRedirect=true&returnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sociology.gu.se%2Faktuellt%2Fnyheter%2FNyheter%2BDetalj%2F%2Fnypublicerad-bok--sociology-of-professions-.cid936164

Im banking on the sociologists because she turns out to be linked to/working at Nottingham university.

So how do we grass? Peak park authority? Coppers?

and they have written a book together...
"2003 Conceptual and Comparative Studies of Continental and Anglo-American Professions (eds) with Lennart G. Svensson.. Goteborg Studies in Sociology No 129, Goteborg University. pp. 177."

[clm]

Time to call in chief inspector twat from the ethics police?

Seriously though.  Its rather more than circumstantial evidence innit?  If the whole ofgoogle can only throw up two Julia and Linnarts, one pair in the Ukraine and the other 40 minutes or so away.

Someone needs to go round and    John Craven?

[lagerstarfish]

emailing them should be easy enough

this thread is number four on the list for Googling "julia and lennart" 

[clm]

Do wewant to do that before they are approached by someone official?If it is them they should pay to sort it.

[lagerstarfish]

good point

[cheque]

I noticed a big piece of chipped graffiti in the same style (different names though) right below the Angel's Share slab at Black Rocks on Sunday: dead fresh. I know Black Rocks is covered in it, but I was pissed off to say the least to find it so close to a route.

Also saw the spraycan stuff at Rowtor on Saturday. 

[sidewinder]

Seems unlikely to me that a professor emeritus (normally given to famous, retired/semi-retired academics) would be associated with vandalism, a quick google throws up a site with a picture  http://www.hegesco.org/content/blogcategory/42/103/ make up your own mind but I am not convinced she is the culprit.

People go on holiday?

There are other couples of "Julia & Linnart" who don't use the internet?

[lagerstarfish]

That Lennart Svensson looks like a right troublemaker - probably from a long line of Viking rune carvers
