Managed to lodge a brush in some of the key holds of the Monty Python traverse at Kyloe In. 3 people attempted to remove it, not budging at all. Will try to remove another day but not hopeful. The bristles are acting like a cam.

Apologies

Can't you cut the bristles with something like a hacksaw blade?

After ten minutes of obsession I reckon the way forwards is to slide in a 1 mm thick sheet of plastic under the bristles adjacent to the rock - it’ll cam the bristles some more - then pull the lot out.  Something like the lid of an icecream tub with the edges removed.

I’m sorely tempted to fly up the A1(M) and try it, but I have urchins to attend to.

What flavour?

I only have chocolate in the house but there’s no way I can eat it all and be fit to drive tonight.

Actually, being the Monty Python traverse, perhaps it should be Albatross flavour?

Update - some other climbers have managed to remove it with fire.

The rock is unharmed.
