Derwent also doesn't leave ugly scratch marks from a single ascent. The other point remains that the access team preferred it didn't go in and finally said if they must include it at least mention the soft rock; Alan regards that as 'no objections' and states the rock is good.

And that people who behave as Alan is presented as doing here are damaging to the interests of the sport as a whole.
Vaguely related to the OP, here is the BMC Stanage Festival:https://www.thebmc.co.uk/stanage-festival-climbing-masterclass-places-availablemaybe I'm missing something and this is all about 'the future of Stanage', but the busiest crag in the Peak on a Sat seems like an odd choice.
No I didn't. Sorry. Link?
