Spoke to Mark over the weekend, said he'd just done Karma (now 8a+ I believe?).

Is this the first British ascent since it was 'altered'?

[Doylo]

meaty effort, especially from such a tiny tot.

[cofe]

reckon he must have manteled the jug and jumped to the sloper. nice one though  - amazing line.

[dave]

i just googled for "waddage" and got this.

[Dude]

Did it not become easier since the dicks altered it?

[JR]

it got harder went from 8a to 8a+

[Dude]

 What got chipped then, the starting hold?

dick, singular. it was the sloper/crimp.

[Dude]

Sorry , I've only checked it on the real thing. Are we talking the sloper on top for right hand. What's been done to it that would make it harder?

Do I take it the culprit is known then, and why he did it?

yeah its the sloper on the right, the first hold you go to from the jug.

yeah it was some local prick who was pissed of about something, someone will come along and explain more no doubt...

[Johnny Brown]

There was a little seam/ slopy crimp that he chipped off. Supposedly all the holds he did this too had previously been 'enhanced'

As if by magic the shop keeper appeared...

Talking to a few locals, I heard that it was a nutter who worked in a nearby climbing wall.  He asked for a pay rise, they said no.  He said <froggie accent>"give me a rise or I'll wreck a load of classic problems"</froggie accent>  they said no.  So, off he goes with his shotgun and two dogs and chips a load of classic problems.  Not to make them easier, but to make them harder.  He also chipped Carnage and Le Bivouac.  Not sure if there are any others to add to that list.

He didn't get his come-uppance as he's a nutter, has a shotgun and two narly K9's.

[petje]

he even totally wrecked fatman and le boucherie. Did some damage in cuisiniere, isatis (super joker among others) and in apremont also.

[tommytwotone]

gather Med en Choc was one of the fatalities.

At the time it happened the reported story was that he worked at a local climbing wall and was mentally unstable. Was accused of stealing holds from the wall by the management, so then went mental in the forest and took a dog round with him and an airrifle so no-one could stop him. Afterwards he then handed himself in to a mental hospital.

problems damaged include hypothese, boucherie, carnage, medaille, karma, etc

[JR]

knew it was something like that
