The National Trust have recently removed a huge amount of unstable rock at the popular crag of Porth-Clais in north Pembrokeshire, Wales, temporarily leaving an unstable scree slope.
The slope will wash out naturally over the next few weeks, but until the slope has stabilised climbers are...

Climbed here back in May and the overhanging roof of choss here looked very unstable from below but a nice path from the top! I imagine it wouldn't have taken them much effort to cause it to come down.
Once washed out it might actually make the routes in this little cut out seem far more appealing.

I noticed when we were there, the cliff top path went over a rather unstable looking natural arch at that point, I assume they removed the arch and the side walls have collapsed too,
Hope it does all wash out; Inset looks like a nice route out of commission and Dreamboat Annie will alter in character if it retains rubble below it. Can somebody local take some pictures of the progress of the slope?

I have great memories of climbing that route with a rapidly incoming tide - another guy was trying it but backed off and I didn't have much time. My second, always a bit nervous at the best of times, thought he was going to going to get stranded.
Dry start to Dreamboat Annie! Nice. I climbed this route over the swell last year, an awesome line but bad pro on the start. Wouldn't be bad if some of the rubble settled at the bottom.
