closed project etiquette
abarro81:
Luckily in the UK I think it's fairly rare - there are a couple of obvious examples of long-standing closed projects around, but really only one or two I can think of. Generally projects have been given away after a few years or even sooner. Personally beyond 3-5 years I think things should be open, though again it depends a bit on circumstances...

If someone spends ages cleaning, bolting, landscaping etc, they probably deserve a bit more time than someone who doesn't have to do any of that.
In that respect, I think you (Liam) would be within your right to ask people not to jump in and nick a first ascent if you've spent a while cleaning the holds and topout, building a landing, etc, when they will clearly benefit from your work. Although obviously if you aren't bothered, then no problem either!

I've stumbled across a few boulders that have definitely been cleaned at some point, although I can't find any mention of them anywhere. One of them I found over a year ago and looks untouched since, so I think I might get stuck in now. The other two I only found recently, but they look like they haven't been touched in a couple of years, so I'm undecided whether I should have a bash or wait a bit. Obviously, these might have all been climbed already and I'm just being overly considerate for nothing.

Fucker :lol:
I did say things that hadn't been abandoned for years! And Jon F built the landing anyway :tease:
But if you want a new project, I've cleaned up around 10 probable 8s in Yorkshire that I haven't gotten around to trying and I'm more than happy to share!

Alas, you weren't aware of either of those things at the time. Anyway, this is precisely what stone was trying to avoid :oops:
I'll DM you about those potential eights as it might solve the mystery of

Of course I was aware it hadn't been tried in years, I spent half a day clearing the top after I found it independently!
But yep, happy to help if I can.
