Just wondering is there any reason the area between the shield and the eliminates has not been cleaned up for some more slab type routes.
I could see that it might be more hard work than it is worth but since they cleared all the bushes etc from the area in front of them it seems to be crying out to be the ghost slabs training wall

Well take close fresh look for yourself but my opinion is the rock is a bit on the soft side and the layer of crap of the top will make an interesting topout or rain down more crap on a top roped climber but as I say I wish I had a tenner for everytime I heard "it'll never work" turn into a good idea.

The rock at the top looks a bit dubious.

At least it'll keep Conor Burns off Masochist
