Jawbreaker at Porth Ysgo hold missing
January 06, 2016, 10:46:54 am
Don't know when this happened, i suspect during the last storms but i haven't been to Ysgo since July 2014. Went down yesterday and there's a HUGE block been shifted off the top of Jawbreaker. Any know any more? Was just a bit surprised. Doesn't affect the problem (if anything, made the topout slightly easier) but just thought i'd see if anyone knew any more than myself.

So all the edges on the problem are still the same? I always thought the rounded top out was a bit of a mantel.

Wouldn't suprise me if a lot had shifted there after the recent storms, hopefully the start of Popcorn Party isn't blocked again...

Holds and moves are the same, it's the block up and left. Last time, i was being a punter and ended up trying to mantle into it. This time, my beached-whale topout worked a touch better.

Popcorn Party was practically unchanged from my last trip and went from the letterbox start with relative ease (still a bit tight). The only other one we tried was Fast Cars and could easily reach the slopey ledge on the right from the floor
