who's this Paul Worsdale?

yes it was a fucking disgrace (worms beard attempt and wss)

that photo doesn't really do it justice tbh, it was a fuckin disgrace,
It looked like mini-me had been sieging percy's sit start

[Bonjoy]

Is that grief of a sailor, or Cornish guilt?

[Shy Yorkshireman]

In Katies defence she had nowt to do with the ticks, some cock muncher, had put them on before we arrived, Let it be said he knew he was in the wrong by the time he left! "fuck me mate you won't fuck your feet up will you." And "your not thinking of leaving them on are you?, and "oh it's ok that nice girls going to ab down and clean up your mess." "you dick" think he got the message. Would have taken his pic if i'd have had a camera.

[Zods Beard]

I assume you used photoshop to make him look taller.

[Johnny Brown]

You think he looks tall there? His hands are level with the starting FOOTholds.

Point proven!

[a dense loner]

i don't really understand. what is all the fuss about? it looks like it always does except with 2 more holds chalked.

I'm more taken aback by the ground erosion, Worms knees are nearly where the ground used to be!

Mind you, he's probably a bad stick to measure from

Hadn't noticed that until you poited it out. I'm sure when I was there (late 90s) the rocks by his right foot were a mere lump.

I took a photo of a couple of tick marks I found at Sabots earlier this year but deleted it by mistake. It was a double wammy. I think it was on a roof problem to the left of red #2. There was a massive arrow of chalk pointing down to a little hole at the base of the boulder, I guess for a toe hook. There was also a massive arrow along the roof to the hold pass the lip. Crossing the arrow was a line of chalk and the following words "Ici 30cm".

 

Found them.

Must be a pisstake. Amazing if not.

[Johnny Brown]

Any one want to own up to this attrocity? Must have occurred yesterday, when it was drizzling  :roll: 
Problems like this should not be attempted when damp as they have fragile holds and pebbles which are weak when wet.
And as it has now been climbed ground-up, top-roping should be out, particularly to the ludicrous extent evidenced below.

Just had a report that the idiots are back - apparently this time the mess is even worse.

I'll pre-empt any idiot's retort with this:

The top of Careless is fragile. The holds are easily damaged, especially when damp.

The start is a knack move - if you do it once you will be able to do it again.

You do not need to worry about the top until you have proven you can do the start. Several folk have now climbed this ground-up - to climb it in any other style is POOR STYLE.

Covering it in chalk and ticks off a rope is totally unneccessary. Toproping the top in the vain hope you may one day fluke it through the start and wobble on to glory is for feeble-minded fools who need to take a long hard look at their own ability and lack of ambition.

Good thread rzarection.

Copped this on the weekend. No tickmakrs but a ridiculous amount of chalk. I can only assume this also is the work of toproping since its hard to imagine anyone good enough to hang around on this thing on the lead long enough to cake it in chalk this badly would need to much chalk at this time of year. we tried to clean all the lower stuff off but short of using a jetwash i couldn't make any headway.

[slackline]

Found the culprit...

[dave]

bloody gymnasts.

[Andy B]

I'd have thought that if it was chalked from a top rope, the undercut out left would be similarly caked?

[dave]

possibly, it was chalked you just can't see it in that photo. maybe it was topropers who were a bit shit? on the same day we saw 2 german guys seiging norferatu on a rope and struggling with the moves.

[Andy B]

There were two people struggling to top rope Nosferatu last weekend too. I seem to see far more people top roping on Burbage South than other crags (not that I have any particular beef with people top roping).

I think its the aspiring/wannabee hard grit climbers crag of choice.

Newstones today;



Similar ridiculous markings were found on The Vein and The Ripple problems. Idiots!

[Eddies]

Freshers! 

[lagerstarfish]

That's runic script for "front bottom"

[slackline]

Freshers! 

Assumptions?

[Johnny Brown]

Just heard UKC have received a few pics of Careless last week (not from me). Prepare to be appalled - I think a new lowpoint has been reached here.
