Hi All, 

Does anyone have any further information for the below message for the problems around Lucid Interval at Forest Rock? 


***This and various climbs nearby that use some of the same holds are best to be avoided until further notice due to a large hold breaking off causing nearby rock to become unstable*** Forest RockLucid interval (f7C)

Quote from Jack on Lucid Interval Sit Start (f8A) explains it "Broke the big left hand jug off but I’m not sure it actually changes much for this problem. Makes one clear moment a touch harder but still doable. Two of the worst spills I’ve had in an hour was enough to send me home."

As mentioned by Ally, Jack unfortunately ripped the big sidepull off and had a hefty fall.

The broken hold has since been collected and will be repaired once the crag gets into better condition. With slate being a bit flakey from time to time we thought fixing it to make it stronger would be better than leaving a situation where more people could have potentially bad falls from loose rock over time.

I'd suggest leave it for the time being and you can go enjoy it again in (hopefully) the near future.
