Witches - Broken hold

I broke off a key flake on Witches (far left of Upper Tier), between the first and second bolt :( . The bottom might be bit harder now...

If you still have the hold, try gluing it back on.

Heh..
If women ruled the world there would be no wars, just be a bunch of jealous countries not talking to each other.

Steve: A bolt to stick the hold back on will be much more secure. ;)
I want to go to hell... there's probably lots of rock to climb there.

I know, that is the second time that I have blown a hold up there. For the sake of the rock, I will try too keep my ponderous bulk off of Upper Tier from now on... :wink:

How about a bolt and a hold that is similar to the original. I would be willing to supply one.

Why don't we just do this to Upper Tier?

Unfortunately, it's for real, a private organization somewhere in New Zeland. I can't find their website at the moment. Pretty gross eh,.. two thumbs way down!

If they would've just tilted the middle hold on the red route a bit, everything would've been perfect. But as it is, the only route really worth doing is yellow (as long as you keep natural features out)

Got on this again yesterday. It is slightly more sustained at the bottom now, but overall no harder. Nice route, but getting dirty from lack of traffic.

I broke another hold off witches today. A softball sized piece came off at the lip of the roof. Turned it into a more positive side pull
