Objectively the route would be safer if a hold that is "on its last legs" were removed.

I presume you do not know Von T and their ability to assess the stability of a hold. To me they are a random person posting on a public internet forum - could be anyone. I do not know whether they predominantly climb sport or trad, frequent Craig Doris and Cilan Main.

I have frequently seen chalked X’s on blocks that would require a crowbar to remove. “Last legs” is an entirely subjective comment.

I would not even hint at removing a block on a public forum without wanting to see it for myself.

Is it only live or do they show repeats? 3am is a little early for me......

Looks to be in ‘good’ condition. We used to use it for charity events and my boss does tend to look after stuff.

Small Marquee

Apparently it’s about 8m long. Trying to avoid having to put it up. Taking up space in our warehouse so need to get rid this week ideally.

Collection from 45 Mowbray Street, S3 8EN.

Any indication on the condition this is in T_B? Asking for a friend

Objectively the route would be safer if a hold that is "on its last legs" were removed. That's all I was implying. No more, no less. Given my role I'm wary of offering opinions on the rights and wrongs of either gluing or loose hold removal. That's why I didn't.
There are multiple ways of dealing with loose holds, not just ignoring or gluing. I didn't think it was controversial to point this out.
Not massively stoked about this being called "akin to condoning chipping" in the karma log.

This weekend in Shanghai.
It doesn't seem to be on Discovery upcoming events.
Downloaded 'Paris 24 app' so hopefully can cast but has anyone found a better solution?

Nope, Discovery did not secure rights for OQS and they will be broadcast on the Olympic Channel.
