Yes but if there's one thing we all know from experience on UKC it's that the OP can't dictate the exact scope of the discussion. If someone has a related point that they think is pertinent they're going to post it up. Exactly as it should be on a public forum I reckon.
I've spent many hundreds of hours running climbing and abseiling activities at Burrington Combe, and as well as looking after my group on the day, I help to marshal the whole area, which includes keeping an eye on traffic situations, road crossings, where rock is falling from, and who or what dislodged it. I would say that I'm as well placed as anyone to make an assessment of what is or isn't dangerous there.
Whatever anyone may think, I don't have some SPA-related axe to grind here, nor am I trying to poop the party just to be awkward. I just genuinely think that rockfall from the Rock of Ages has a higher chance of a serious outcome than just about any other crag I can think of in the area.
Given that I think that, why would I not post up about it on a thread specifically about climbing on the Rock of Ages? I can't think of a better place.
