Good skills Cofe.Quote from: 205Chris on May 05, 2012, 08:42:25 pmWent back in the afternoon as a mate was keen and unfortunately someone had broken the large flake hold on what I presume was Asylum Sika or Snappy duds, can't quite work it out looking at the picture I'm afraid. The hold has been left under the problem, not sure if anything can be done with it?Balls ! Hope it doesn't go walk about before I get a chance to have a look and try to sort. Was it in one piece? Can you figure out from the vid if it was the start flake on AS (the leftmost low flake, close to the left arete)?If anyone else goes here soon can they stash the hold somewhere safe and PM me the whereabouts, thanks.

climb the wall to the right of it trending leftwards. So sit start n climb leftwards kind of on the prow but not underneath it
The only remaining mystery is whether Dawid did Monochrome and Mono Bulge, or Mono Bulge and Mono Bulge RH; both of which could concievably be described as 'the two obvious front lines'?

Don't know if anyone's noticed but the starting foothold of Monochrome wobbles significantly. I doubt it would change the problem massively if it were to go, but if people want to preserve it something should probably be done soon-like.
There is a flake foothold at the bottom of the plinth, we noticed it was wobbly last summer.
Easily avoidable but might leave an ugly scar if it goes. Probably just needs a dab of sika behind.
what's the consensus on grade, been given 7B there but I recall Dave mooting 7B+ originally?
more like 7A... a touch easier... less intermediate moves... every move static... my first 7B flash
The trick is to just to muster up a toothy grin, a wry shake of the head...
