Went to have a look at Holy,Holy,Holy on Saturday and noticed the hangers were missing from Launching Pad. They were definitely there in October ('cos I clipped them!) - and they seem to have been there in May of this year as there is an ascent logged. I can't see anything on the BMC access database to suggest why they've been removed. Any ideas?

We also saw a Ring Ouzel and a very vocal pair of Choughs which was a treat.

Likely to do with the whole Dali's Hole long-running access saga. A lot of hangers were removed from Dali's Hole routes to discourage the large groups that were using it and thus jeopardising access to the quarries.

A top rope ascent.

Think this was heavily cleaned (chipped) in the 80s and then retroed without knowing it had already been climbed at about E4 6a. Could be a rather overdue attempt to return it to the original state. More likely just the quarry fun police though.

Hmm? I did wonder. Will be interesting to see how they "police" Zambezi and Holy,Holy,Holy. Cooking oil?
