Move it back. The Joker is a historic problem and allowing it to be erased by some dongs moving the block sends the wrong message about what's OK at the crags. I might be able to nip out for a bit on Thurs.
genuine question, is there actually any difference between pulling on to the joker off a pad stack and pulling on from the block?

The block was a natural feature. It was an awkward move. A pad stack is completely fucking arbitrary in location and height.[/quoWill it be straightforward to get it in virtually the same position Adam.If it doesn’t go back to within cm’s the history is fucked anyway it’s a different problem. In the same way the holds are changing, it’s not the same bloc Jerry did. Surely it’s better to just move on. We can’t start freezing problems in time. Trying to restore things to a snapshot in time seems like a waste of time and energy. At least that’s my view from an armchair in Lancashire....
For two, if people want to do the Joker they clearly still can; it still exists. And for three, the Joker was a contrived bit of weirdness anyway; the logical line is The Ace and pulling on halfway always had the look of exactly that, like climbing West Side Story and traversing off at the break.
Would it have been impossible without it? Or much, much harder so as to make it impossible for all but the world class?
How do all the folk wanting to move it back feel about Thick End of the Wedge at Burbage?
