Eh up!

I was at Earl Crag a week last Friday (22/4/05) actually good conditions for spring / summer!  On my way back to the car I had a look around the quarried section on the left hand side of the crag.  To my amazement / horror I found that underneath the stepped roof bit (looks like a quarried version of remergence block but with no holds) there is a line of drilled pockets in a manufactured boulder problem stylee with two Sika crimps glued on at the bottom to start the problem.  It looked like that have been there for a while, but just wondered if anyone could shed some light on the situation as it's clearly not on.

Cheers
