It isn't leaking, someone had marked the arete 'cos it's not at all obvious normally  ::)
There's a guy that regularly puffs each hold with a chalk ball, this is partly what you can see on Parr's.  No advantage to doing it, I've no idea why he wastes his chalk.
Idiots.

Check out this dog show. You travel halfway around the globe some of the best sandstone on the planet and are confronted by this. Ulan Batar, a classic 7b of Rocklands defaced thus. My companion's expression tells it all.

Does anybody know how to make my image work properly? I have tried putting the Snapfish web address inbetween two 'img' marks above but it didn't work  :-\. the web address is:

Thanks in advance.

Thanks Adam. I can only see a big red square where the picture should be but maybe my PC is not configured properly.

Kudos wall was a right mess on Friday. Tsunami / BSD were ticked to fuck with big smeary chunks of chalk on everything that might have been a foothold and the top of Hot Fun looked like a bird had been shitting all over it.

Was climbing with an austrian bloke the other day. Apparently they call them "landing strips" over there. Gives some idea of their thinking eh......  :thumbsdown:

Jerry's arete at the bridey's - is that a recent pic? haven't been up for years because the rock's getting so fucked by climbing.

It's a disgrace up there. I live 5 mins drive away and have been probably less than half a dozen times in the last twelve months, it's just depressing....

Taken on Wednesday. It is pretty sandy, we had a good day though.

Luckily we had a team flash of everything we tried, keeping erosion to a minimum.

Some beauties from the much discussed 'Cornelius' at Ina's Rock. It looks like they've been brushed clean, but as the crag gets no direct rain they'll probably remain til the next ice age!



Oh, and perhaps for a different thread, belayer of shame! Hang your head :spank:



Good job the rock's solid up there! :lol:

The worst thing is (if that's the 6B+ thing I think it is) you can't see that hold when you're reaching round for it anyway, the ridiculous tick mark wouldn't even help!  :wall:
