Belay flake very loose- Booroomba, central slabs	1-Nov-2013 At 12:59:58 PM	Sliianna

On "Only the Good Die Young" central slabs, booroomba. First pitch description is " Delicately up to belay on top of the flake" .this flake is very loose with minimal options for a belay in a different system or using wires. The second pitch is " 20 metres (22) Scary face climbing up to a bolt" . When we leaned back on the anchor, one of our cams popped and we lowered about 10cm. Frightening. We were able to pull out someone's bail sling by pulling the flake outwards. This flake was tested before the belay was made and seemed solid. With 2 people, it wasn't. Watch out.
