Climbed The Fang yesterday at Gouther Crag, Swindale, I was rather alarmed by the loose block standing at the top of the first pitch...I'm unsure if it has been like this for long as it was 20 years ago when I last did it, but it certainly cause me concern from below and more so when stood at the belay.
IMHO I think it needs trundling off and doubt it would affect the route that much. For those who don't know it, it is used to pull over the last moves before traversing a short distance to the belay.
I have photos if anyone wants to see them...Drop me a message either on Messenger (Cliff Lowther) or on Instagram _roxcool
Please be very careful until this is investigated.
Cheers
Cliff
