I only heard about the chipped hold when I read about Andy Pollitt glueing it to stop it deteriorating. There are probably only 2 or 3 candidates but I'm not going to risk slandering anyone on here.

>Since we're all keen to 'hear' the REALLY ,JUICY stuff , here's a brief,basic,back->ground,appetizer , to set the scene ...

' SHEPHERD, LOUISE (1958 - ) , Shepherd was probably the first woman to climb 5.12, with leads like Tales of Power, 5.12b, in Yosemite Valley, Lord of the Flies[ ! ] ,6b and Trojan, 25 , between 1981 and 1985. ... Inspired by woman climbers of the 1970s like Coral Bowman, Shepherd began rock climbing at the age of 20 in Australia. She was, in her own words " one of a growing body of women climbers worldwide for whom a part of the pleasure of climbing was challenging some male assumptions about women's place in rock climbing." During the 1990s, disturbed by mining and environmental mis-management that threatened the cliffs and surrounding land near Mount Arapiles, she took an active role in the Wimmera Branch of the Australian Conservation Foundation. ' ( Greg Child, 1995 )
