Just wanted to start a wee thread about recent hold breakages in the County, feel free to add to this...

V-Crimp - Bowden - Jug under roof totally gone now 2014, reclimbed at similar grade
- 2015 part of finishing undercut broken, probably still goes but may be harder now

Northern Territory - Kyloe Crag - Crucial L hand hold broken, reclimbed by Adam Watson at hard 8a (8a+?)

Poseidon Adventure (E4 route) - Bowden - Jan 2015 - Crucial crux pinch now gone, should still be possible but may be much harder.

The Emperor - Back Bowden - Good crimp now gone from the headwall, may be a fair bit harder now

In reply to Beardyman:

Good thread to start, the missing Poseidon hold had been noted by the FA.

It highlights the need to keep off sandstone when it's been wet, even if the surface looks dry, these small crimps are very vulnerable. Not saying that's what happened in these instances mind.
