Do we know who's responsible for the cleaning? Would be nice to offer my/our thanks. Always fancied the routes there, but they've been buried for the last few years. Presumably a good dose of rain would clean things up a bit further, or would this start a return to vegetation? And any comment on Nagasaki Grooves? Clean enough for a bash? Must add it back to the top of my 'must visit' list. Cheers all, hope you get out this weekend... Excellent news all round. Do we know who’s responsible for the cleaning?

Must add it back to the top of my ‘must visit’ list.

Cheers all, hope you get out this weekend…

We didn't climb it, but there was a fair bit of chalk on the holds.

Are those Ferns at the base of the cliffy thing in the first picture? If so, did you get a better shot of them?
