Block on Puddle Jumper at Malham

Just saying what my mate has said on another climbing forum. Thought it would be better seen here:

Quote
"Did this route again on Monday - the big blocks near the top of the route (just up and right of the last bolt) haven't changed since the other block fell off the route as far as i'm aware, but give it a tap and it sounds less than totally solid. Don't see how it's attached to the main wall, seeing as there's cracks all the way along the top, side and bottom of the block! Seeing as some people (formerly including me) climb the top block by laybacking off the big crack on its left hand side, I can't see the block staying there forever. Maybe some other people should check it out (carefully!), it might be a case for trundling/gluing back in place (might be too big and heavy for gluing to work though). I just don't want to read about it landing on someone!"
