The slick sidepull for your LH which is the starting hold for the 7B+ problem 'Sharp Pocket' and a few others on the left side of the wall has changed. I hesitate to say chipped but it does look like it (didn't take a pic). Some of the patina on the top part of the hold which was always extremely slick and hard to hold onto has been removed leaving a grippier hold. Only a small area has suffered but enough to make a big difference. Doesn't really affect Sharp Pocket too much fortunately but the initial pull on is easier. This kind of damage could not have been caused by brushing IMO but something more agressive than that. Im hoping it was natural wear and tear rather than chipping...
 
I noticed this today Ted, but there is enough baked on sweaty chalk now that it makes very little difference!
I'm quite gutted about the missing foothold further right though. Egyptian Feet and some of those problems are a bit less pleasant now, and the 1 arm dynos as featured in One Summer feel quite different
