The BMC has recently discovered categorical evidence of fresh chipping at some of Staffordshire's best bouldering crags.

As part of an on-going program to monitor the effects of increased bouldering activity, the BMC were horrified to discover yet more chipped holds at Newstones and 'wire brush sculpture’ on some of Ramshaw's fantastic boulder problems. So, if you are the perpetrator of these heinous actions lets get a couple of things straight - chipping is irreversibly permanent and spoils the rock for countless generations of climbers to come. If a problem is too hard for you, work at it (like we all do), get stronger, and maybe one day you will experience the pure rush of finally succeeding on something hard.
