In reply to JamieSparkes:
After an email to the crag moderator, which was then forwarded on, I can now answer my own question, sort of.
I just received a reply from Gordon Jenkin who’s compiling a Bristol & Mendip guide and he tells me this book will include all 10 new routes at the lower wall of The Perch Quarry. He gave no mention of them being projects and invited me to log them in my UKC account, but for now I’m a paper log Luddite.
Can I ask a question about the ‘project climb‘ ethic? As a Devon trad climber that’s had a 10 year hiatus and subsequent move to Mendip I’m not overly familiar with sport ethics. A locked first bolt would certainly send me a red flag, but how else should we treat unlisted routes as a project? Proceed with caution I’m guessing....
Speaking of caution my climbing partner’s discovered several routes in Cheddar gorge with loose nuts on the belay loops, we finger tightened them but must remember to climb with a spanner in future to tweak them up. From memory there’s two routes on Easter Island and one on Burmese Wall.
Cheers.
