So, I’ve just been reading the Torygraph:

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/06/13/rocks-balanced-since-ice-age-have-toppled-destroyed-yobs/#Echobox=1528972083

Which one of you had a hissy then?

Oops, I missed the earlier thread and assumed from the article it had only just happened.
Still, it was one of you wasn’t it? We all know what it’s like when you drop that last move on your fav proj.
I mean some of my tantrums would make the Hulk blush...

The block hit a section of the crag underneath on the way down and cleaved it off has left an almighty collection of rockery sized blocks at the bottom. The Unknown Stones team have been duking it out with Robin to win the development rights - 10 problems + 2 girdle traverses (clock and anti-clockwise) per metre squared block.

I don’t suppose there’s any hope some of the “youths “ involved might be decaying under the rubble? No errant trainers lying around with suspiciously meaty fillings?
That is probably in poor taste and (slightly) too extreme, but what a bunch of absolute fucktards.
