What "witch hunt thing"?
> Is there a code of conduct for this kind of thing?
For starters, how about: don't deliberately trundle bloody great blocks out of ultra-classic routes that have been well known for having a loose/rocking/wobbly block for decades.
People's perception of what is dangerous varies a lot, and clearly some folk are either ridiculously risk-averse about such things or just really keen for an excuse to trundle something.
I'd much prefer it if they weren't the people making unilateral decisions to trundle every rocking block and damn the rest of us who may see that as unnecessary at best or wanton vandalism at worst.
At the very least, wannabe trundlers would do well to contact the BMC access rep to raise their concerns *before* they start their unilateral attempts to "improve" the situation. The Peak reps are very active and approachable.

Somebody knows, but yes, obviously I don't. Based on the last time I was up there (earlier this year), it just doesn't seem likely to me that block was dislodged without some mechanical advantage. Entirely possible that I'm wrong, I hope I am actually.
