This handold/footholfd takes a lot of shit from being a foothold on all the arete variation, you could put it down to erosion but all the scoring/erosion is on the back of the sloper just where you need to make it better.
the grit is piss wet through so would be interesting to go back when its drier to have another look. (its also mingingly warm so wouldnt bother this eve guys and gals)

Post by: fatboySlimfast on May 22, 2003, 04:01:32 pm: nah, the amount thats been scraped is very small, like a couple of mil, but it changes the hold . repairing would be to aggressive, it would show up more than the damage.
