      Hi

      I’m wondering if anyone has climbed skywalker since the chunk came off during the calm works?

      Cheers, Owen.

          The climbs on the face above the roof are obviously covered in muck and metal spikes. But I’m not sure whether skywalker itself, being lower down and beneath a roof, suffered the same fate.

          But what I’m most interested is the how the missing chunk, that formed the roof of the second half of the crux traverse, has changed the climb. The traverse looks completely different, but i’m curious if anyone knows the details.

          But some other routes are ok. Some parts of the lower section of urban ethics are gross with muck on the holds, but most of it is intact and certainly climbable. It should be fine after a good scrubbing. And of course routes left of skywalker and right of UE are all good.

          Also, does anyone know if the busy bee is happening anytime soon? If so, i’m keen!

          Thanks, Owen.

            I did Urban Ethics a few weeks ago and the whole climb is in good condition, with no muck or dust, just a little water seepage from the starting break. The wall left looks good, but did not try any on the main wall. We went up Vader on the far left and this was also in fine condition, although the crux section has very long reach and seemed hard for the grade.
