It would be great if you joined the VCC and came along on some of the Cliffcare Working Bees. Other crags have some really necessary and important works that need to be completed. The VCC is a voluntary organisation run on a shoestring budget and is always in need of climbers who are prepared to help out - even with just a few hours of their time.
In fact the eroded gully and track up to the Omega Block at Camels Hump was stabilised and repaired extensively by the VCC and other volunteer local climbers in several working bees well over a decade ago. I hope that you are enjoying the benefits of this work.

On another note, we didn't have enough volunteers to remove the excessive number of 'grips' on all of the climbs at the time. But what I usually do in that situation is look at the VCC Guidebook and find a climb with a much bigger number next to it. They've already had their 'grips' reduced. Many of the climbs on the Omega Block have a bigger number next to them. You'll really enjoy those 'grips'.

I think that you should start another thread about 'Perma-Ropebags'. Great idea. You'll get a lot of interest in that thread.
