Err - yes, it's rockclimbing. With a rockclimbing community. That you hope look after each other and pass on information that might be relevant to others in the community who are all at different levels. Like a dodgy anchor or bolt or a loose block. No one said to tear it down and remove all dangers. The family that passed it on were concerned and thought others should know. He pulled on the block and it then moved out a lot further.

I reckon you are right there. It's been a long time since I've been on that route so couldn't quite remember when they were explaining it. The guy did say near the top of the second pitch.
Thanks for taking the time to let people know and also for checking it out to get the full picture Kieran.

Cheers,
