Normally routes are designed to be very safe.
Well what happened on this case?
Well the front of the route fell off.

Are routes safe?
Well not this one.
There's a big crater on the ground with the front of the route in it.
It's a bit of a give away.

that block was in what appears to be the first 11 section at about the 4th or 5th bolt, the bolts that are there both have leeper hangars. theres still some smaller loose stuff around that section but it seems doable once the hangers get replaced. pretty fun and engaging climbing up to that point
