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?

beta - chuffing / Re: From a Distance - loose hold

To be pedantic, removing the hold is the safe option if gluing is decided against

Based on the information we have available, I disagree.

For the pedants, the “safe” in my reply was in relation to reputation of the individual (not) doing the remediation work.

If one chooses to attempt to onsight an E7 (especially on a sea cliff) then one should accept the need to assess the risks for one’s self as one is climbing. If one chooses to pre-inspect then one will identify the hold during the pre-inspection process (as has happened here).

I would very much not condone deliberately removing the hold based on the information available to us on this thread. This would certainly not be “safe” as per my meaning.

I guess this has been on the cards for a while, the most surprising thing is how easy she seems to have found it. Janja climbs Bugeleisen sit

Excellent stuff. To me she looked like she was trying hard!

I don't know of any examples of holds being reinforced with sika at Pembroke previously - if they have been, the sculptor has probably kept quiet about it.

I think this has been done at Pembroke previously. I can’t put my finger on where though; I certainly know of bolt stubs which have been sika’d over and it is well known there have been some acts of downright vandalism at Pembroke historically.

If Von T is competent and wants to sika the hold without making a mess, go for it. Lots of good advice on threads on here for sika’ing limestone - do your research.

As Si hints, do not claim responsibility if you do it and it goes well. Do expect a lot of criticism if you mess it up.

Doing nothing is likely the safer option. One person’s crucial is another’s …

Cool, thanks. I'll let it be then. I'll just try and get the route done before it gets too hard for me
