Title: Broken hold - Into the Black, Impossible Roof.
Post by: 36chambers on July 02, 2017, 10:21:00 am

Yesterday the big juggy left hand hold on Into the Black came off.

It's still in one piece and I've left it behind the large flake at the right hand end of the crag, see pictures.

I've posted about it on Instagram and hopefully the right people are already aware. But if not, can someone point them towards this thread.

I went back there a couple of weeks ago and the broken hold was still behind the large flake at the right hand side of the crag (see the second image in the original post).

Footage of the shocking body tension causing the original incident can be seen here:

The worse thing is that I dropped the easy finish twice(!) before the hold went.
