PS. I've heard some other probs have been added to side buttresses but I don't know the details.
There were a significant number of tick marks left on problems too.

The problems don't really need them. Plus, it's not like me or dutch to not brush them off after.
jon's tip off came after the beekeeper and myself went climbing here after he saw it while out running. i did quite a few easier probs up to prob 7a inc that in the pic tomtom. i didn't go back since i thought it was turd, a long walk, and every problem would be some sort of eliminate. for eliminates i thought it would be very good and a good alternative on pleasant summers eveningsan ideal venue for greg or si panton to get hold of and talk it up, were more or less my actual words when we were there
Nice spot, though I don't think I'll be rushing back either. Not sure about the eliminate thing, we didn't need to eliminate anything - all the big holds fell off as soon as they were touched.A few pics:
It was seeping quite badly from the break down yesterday. The starting hand and footholds of most problems were affected, but everything was still climbable with careful towel use. Really nice holds and moves on good solid rock.There were a significant number of tick marks left on problems too.
no i don't think bas cuvier's log!
no i don't think bas cuvier's log!if people think this is a good venue thats up to them and quite strange. after our session there the beekeeper said shall i tell jon about it if ure not gonna bother developing it and i said yeh he'll climb on owt. most of the holds we cleaned fell off, this may have left better holds. i don't really understand the non-eliminate thing but didn't try any harder stuff as all i saw was big fat orange wedge pinches on every bit of rock. if this venue is a good new venue for people then i'm quite glad i don't climb much over here anymore.as for the capitulating to my work demands on the phone we're not in china so i like to go to work in the morning knowing i'm coming back in the evening, since i've got coffee to drink indoors
