In reply to avonclimber: Upping this as its on soon. Could be a relatively short meeting if 1) is carried!? - see below
The Meeting will be voting on the following to cover West Cornwall, as defined by the
West Cornwall CC guide:
1) Agrees that all fixed protection is banned on sea cliffs and natural inland
outcrops.
If (1) not carried:
2) Agrees that all drilled protection is banned on sea cliffs and natural inland
outcrops.
3) Proposes that all fixed protection is removed from sea cliffs and natural inland
outcrops and where damage to the rock has occurred and repair is possible, for that
repair to be carried out
4) Proposes that all drilled protection is removed from sea cliffs and natural inland
outcrops and where damage to the rock has occurred and repair is possible, for that
repair to be carried out
If either 3 or 4 are carried, then the meeting will seek to establish a working party in
order to achieve this aim.
5) Proposes that no further work such as: drill protection slots, the creation of
artificial holds by clipping and/or by cement construction and/or cleaning with a drill
be carried out.
6) Agrees that climbers may develop sport climbing at certain specific Cornish
venues, excluding all natural cliffs and natural outcrops.
7) The principles governing the designation of a sport climbing venue are:
a) whether there are verified and repeated existing trad lines
b) whether there has been a history of sports climbing
c) the BMC SW Area's approval of the use of the venue in question
d) its suitability for sport climbing by comparison to other national sport
climbing venues
