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

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.

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.

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!
