This topo is uptodate, except that Mr Meeseeks is 7c now rather than a project.

Just back from there. A bit smeggy (it gets very little wind) and the low holds/footholds below the break are all damp/spoogy..

Wondered if a couple of holds had fallen off (likely) since the topo - as one of the 7A's seemed to have a missing small crimp (one from the hanging block up and right using an undercut)

Surely the new fan sorted this out?!

It helped... quite a lot. But it’s not going to dry out green spooge in an hour..

Nicely cleaned it all for you Haydn :)

Ollie - worth knowing that stuff left of the fence (harder stuff) dries faster/remains dry compared to that on the right where we were puntering :)

No, checked today, nothing's changed on that problem (Goose Lee). The poor edge mentioned in the description is still in place and well chalked.

Please can people pay attention to the state of the fence as per the topo description.
Every time I've been this year I've found it in a right state and had to sort it out.
There is absolutely no need to stand on the wire when crossing it and people doing so has pulled the brand new top post loose.
Yes the fence/wall is a mess and by all means move the loose posts when trying things left of the wall, but ffs put them back afterwards! :wall:
If you walk away from the crag leaving the fence/wall in a state then YOU are responsible if stock escape and the farmer does a Whitehouse job on the crag, even if the damage wasn't yours.
TOPTIP: If you can't climb over the low fence without standing on it you're probably not up to climbing anything over it!

Thanks Bonjoy - is it out right and up a little bit from the hanging block jugs - or the one high up above on/over the lip?

Ps - I have re-propped up the fence before. As per topo 👍

It's level with the high undercut. Kind of a horizontal slopey pinch.
