:o :o :o Just been Tom's Buttress and basically the whole left hand section has fallen down from What's This For leftward and including the aptly named Art of Self Destruction. Looks like trees roots have gotten in behind and pried it off over time.
Good news is that there's some hard projects for anyone brave enough! Will try to post pics later.

Holy fuck! Hope nobody was underneath it!
-
Holy hell. I've been there a few times recently to try finish something off on that buttress and it's been wet for weeks. Mixed feelings of being gutted I'll have to cross it off my ticklist and grateful that I wasn't underneath it. I'm intrigued to see what's left behind.
-
At least what I've done there can't be downgraded ;)
-
Shit!

Shit! Was there with the family at Whitsun, kids building dens underneath Art of Self Destruction :doubt:

...kids building dens underneath Art of Self Destruction :doubt:
That'll be what did it. Bloody kids.

Sounds like a higher power at work here. The spirit of Gaskins works in mysterious ways!
-
Anyone who goes there fancy getting a picture to upload ?
-
Keen to see what's left! Always meant to go back and do that crap looking campus across crimps problem to arbitrary finish.
-
Totally puntered the video. Best watched standing on your head...

Cripes! Looks like a couple of potential 8G+s there .
-
Shit me. It was a tossup whether we were stopping at Woodwell on Saturday afternoon on the way up, looks like either A a lucky escape there, or B missed my chance to try Art of Self Destruction.
-
Apparently Markus Bock was seen in the area with a big crow bar.
-
Kaisen will be slightly harder with all but the starting feet gone

:o Holy shit!!

That's some weight lying on the floor!!!

This was taken last month. Maybe it was a good thing I was injured and couldn't climb, as I may have pulled it down!

Look at those tree roots. Hanging in space with no more little crevices to burrow into. Bet they don't feel so clever now, do they? Tree root twats.
-
Looks quite repairable though... Bit of sika, couple of props, jobs a good un.
-
I blame all 14.5st of the Blackpool car jack.
-
:o :'( some local classics/nemeses gone. I once injured a pulley on a family walk there, deadhanging the Art of Self Destruction crimps without warming up, happy days ::)
-
So sorry. I've always loved Woodwell and always wanted to get there. Don't know why but I've always thought that I could do well in such a place.
Oh well.
Which ticks can I claim honoris causa by general consensus?
-
None. It's not that good nibs, it's a good local venue.

It was always worth the drive for me. A lovely setting, the smell of wild garlic, bluebells under the trees, lowball problems.

Fantastic memories of Crouch eating 10kg of mixed cheeses before writing off the session and napping all day on the bouldering mat. What a crag.
-
It's my least favourite sector of Woodwell but it would have been nice to do Art Of. Oh well.
-
Nobody keen for the glue job then? I'll start the sika fund off with a £2 donation.
-
I went down to Woodwell on Friday to see the damage. I've included some photos for you guys :)

The area to the left of AOSD is also quite unstable...
-
new park bench required to do front levers under :P
-
Extreme shame -loved this place. Kaizen was awesome andalways a goal. AOSD was amazing, and also Crucifix Kiss Footless, Beauty of Being Numb, and it goes on. Just as bad as Roadrunner going down in flames.

kids building dens underneath Art of Self Destruction :doubt:
You think the raging cooking fire might have done some harm?
-
Apologises if I have completely missed it, but could someone list the problems that have been affected by the rockfall?
-
Looks like Closer (and problems to the right) have gone - using the front image of my vid of it for comparison:

Still, I don't have to get crucifix kiss done now :) silver linings and all that... ;)
-
so all the holds for kaizen are still there but it might just be 9a now?
-
Going to need a crowbar team to clear that.
