we have build up a landing that makes it possible to do the start with two pads and no spotter (easier to practice the moves but still the same starting holds) someone had tear down this landing this weekend and i just want to know why?
it does not make a different for the climbing but a great different in the landing.

Hi, it was me:) I tearit down because it was too dangerous and almost hurt my self when I tryed the whole line. In my opinion there should be some other way to practice the moves rather than making landings.

it should be better landing than the possibility to land on that sharp rock, thats why we build the landing.
The fact that it makes it easier to practice the moves was just a bonus…. but a flat landing is always better than one with a sharp rock in the middle wouldn't u agree?
how did u almost hurt your self? if its bad craftsmanship from my side i'm truly sorry for that it was a fast solution.

A good landing should never block climbing of other already existing boulder problems or prevent making new ones. Also, if possible, landing should be made to cover safety of all boulder problems climbed on top of it, not just one nor only one part of one.
In case it is just not possible to build a good landing a good spotting and careful pad placement is all you can do.
In my opinion the problem in vvv landing in general is that it does not cover the whole problem and parts of it are loose so pads and good spotting is needed anyway

new landing in place.. let this one be.

this landing makes it possible to climb the problem with less (of my) pads and without landing on that sharp rock.
of course there is always good to have a spotter.

its not blocking any problem/new lines exempt one 6c that no one climbs… and that i have the first ascent of.
if the landing is insufficient to u than add instead of removing.

This boulder has a bit of everything! Personally I think it’s a around 8a/+. Shouldn’t have taken this many sessions though

Really nice moves but sharp after some attempts. For me low end 8a when I found the right beta for me. Have to come back for the sit, not enough energy or skin to send it now.
