Routes altered shock...
Thankfully the route-modification in question is an entirely natural process !; the sea finally claimed the 'traverse block' of the classic E3, 'Crystal Voyager' at the Promenade. If this route was on your to-do-list, then count on some strenuous E4 6A climbing on a line slightly to the left of the original( Repeat ascent at this grade by Pete Oxley). The bolted line to the right( Star of Africa 7b) is also affected, and similarly appears to be significantly harder,and requires a re-bolt. The route 'Down in the Sewer' also suffered ( in the same storm?) and is now hard 7b. Comment on this Item
