Hi All,

OK here is an opportunity for re-gluing a hold off Punks in the Gym if anyone feels like it. I tried it many years ago and put a cam behind a reasonable side pull, fell above it, ripped the cam(or more accurately the rock around the cam), took a reasonably exiting swing/fall onto a bolt below and left of the placement as the flake was mostly detached (not that you could tell that from looking at it - these days I tap the rock around placements to see if the rock is hollow. Wish I had of done that many years ago). There is a black rock scar about 8-10m off the ground which can be repaired if deemed the right thing to do by the powers that be (whoever you are?).

Anyway - if this is about coming clean and repairing routes then I offer a small part of Punks in the Gym to anyone who wants to glue it back on.

Given the nature of the route before it simply gets put back up perhaps some constructive discussion about if it's a good idea should take place first.
