15 Punctuated Equilibrium Trad 9m Don't Bother
Simon
Led this and got my biggest cam in a good placement about 40% of the way up, which I was very happy for because immediately afterward the brick sized sturdy feeling foot hold I went for broke clean free from the face sending me whipping down.

My belayer asked me if I wanted to continue and I was like yeah I would and then as I was climbing back up to my cam, another big foot hold broke off and we decided it was retreat and go for a swim time.

So yeah warning: do not treat this like a normal climbing spot, feels like any hold could break off at any moment in a way that is also somehow unexpected, as well as these 2 I had 2 more big hand holds break off while I was scrambling on other bits of the rock. But yeah I didn't feel any flex, they didn't feel or look hollow but they just fell clean off. Climb with extreme care.

Consensus was this was very soft for a 13 which I'm inclined to agree on, the shortness potentially adds to that.
