The scary "large loose flake" that was just below the top of the second pitch is now gone. Maybe it's because we've had a prolonged dry spell and its base had dried out, but it seemed a lot looser - and scarier - than I ever remember it being before. Consequently, I asked Di to send it earthward when she followed. With almost no persuasion it soon departed ...

    What that the flake after the traverse finish? (above neon god and the holy road)

      That's the one, Jed. As per the route description.

        Cool, i'm assuming it didn't hit the cliff on the way down and break any holds / bolts off neon god?

          I thought that might be what you were wondering about! (big grin) It looked like it fell completely clear of the cliff and broke up when it hit that rock outcrop below the Fiddlesticks ledge but I couldn't swear to that.

    That's good enough for me, nice work!

    I hope I'm right that no damage was done to the routes lower down the cliff, but basically it was time that block went. Maybe someone will get up that way over the next little while and post a report for us.

    Thanks for removing, better than an unsuspecting euro doing it on lead!!
