In reply to Lesdavmor:
It looks like there was a landslide at one point, about three or four meters back from the crag there is a shelf where the soil is about a good foot or more higher then that closer to the crag. It looks like the stuff in front had been ripped away. I wasn't sure if it has been recent or not, there wasn't any debris at the bottom of the crag but it was wildly over grown.
I know not every crags going to be just the way you want it, but it seems a huge shame after climbing some really nice lines to have to cross a meter or so of loose unprotected crap!
I don't think "they" refers to anyone in specific. I will practice on my heather belays for future trips haha
