Title: Very rare tree damage at Warton crag (Taken By Surprise buttress)
Post by: thekettle on July 24, 2016, 06:07:20 pm

This appeared on the other channel. Looks very much like landing improvement, in a nature reserve, using a Red Listed tree (Lancashire Whitebeam) that only exists in the Morecambe bay/Silverdale area (worldwide):

I think so. It's the only 2 bolt sport route at Warton.
