    Sorry for the FB link, but this is something you should be aware of if you're #climbing in #Kalymnos . A climber died because **both** of the bolts of his anchor failed while he was lowered. Action is being taken to inspect routes and close them until necessary replacements have been made. Be careful out there.And also be aware that SAR in Greece is not at the level you maybe used to at home.https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=26899152946357895&id=1050512014982009

    Hi, is there a place where all the data behind openbeta.io can be downloaded? (areas,crags,climbs,photos,etc) I know I saw it a year ago or so. But when I looked for it now I can't find any mention of it. Well, the only mention I found is on the Github organization page: Daily exports of climbs and areas from openbeta.io: https://github.com/OpenBeta/openbeta-export But it leads to a 404 error.

    Roseberry Topping Yesterday G and I took Lindy to the North York Moors National Park for her first big climb. It started out a bit chilly which helped get us up the 200 metre elevation and the views were as worth it as I’d remembered. Our first visit in 9 years, which felt very strange - it was the first hike G took me on 16 years ago and now we’ve introduced our fur child to Roseberry Topping! #outdoors #climbing #hiking
