The glued crimp before the Chimes sloper exploded off today in awe at the power of a certain visiting Prestonian  . I have it and will stick it back on when I get my hands on some sika. Don't let this put anybody off doing it in the meantime - it is only a little harder going straight to the flat crimp with the RH and then straight through to the sloper.

Is this the left-hand crimp in the niche? If so this fell off a couple of years ago, and Stone glued it back on the wrong way round, which may be the reason it fell off again. If you do glue it back, please can it go on the right way round this time, as its natural position was much more comfy to hold.

[Kingy]

yes, thats the hold - sure, I'll make sure it goes back on the right way.

That's dynamite.

Does it need glueing back on at all? Would it be so bad to let the route evolve and give people a new challenge?

Just a thought.

there's sequences that don't even use that hold anyway.

Went back today and did it without the hold, tiny tiny bit harder but nothing major. Looks a bit unsightly where it was mind.

Was it some fatty pulling too hard on it?  He'll get a reputation as a bit of a hold smasher

That was the third hold i have broke in a week.

stone should get a honorary wad point, for many things really but mostly glueing a hold upside down. does anyone know if he attached bock's head?

I glued the crimp back on this afternoon. Adjust your sequences accordingly!

It wasn't possible to put it back on the 'right' way (ie. how it was before it was last glued on) due to the way the old sika had set. It is now how it was in August.
