If only someone had told you that before! The same person would have already told you that you were unlikely to find anyone who'd done it recently because a hold had  broken, making it a fair bit harder, than before. ::)

I'd be interested to know what and where had broken, as it's not at all obvious, and I had a very good look at the wall yesterday. I would guess that if something had broken it would be a small, delicate foothold just above the overlap, although there's no sign that's what it is. It feels like that's what the problem needs to make it climbable.

The right-hand is good climbing, at about 6c.
