Take great care if climbing this route at the moment. Whilst abseiling down it last week, noticed a lot of loose rock. Reading recent logs, there have been a number of recent near misses. Yesterday evening whilst abseiling down again, my son and I set about removing the worst of it. Turned into a bit of a task, the scale of the instability was pretty major. The largest stuff is gone and came off frighteningly easily. It could do with further cleaning, just ran out of time, there is still lots more smaller stuff to clean up.

Approach with a lot of caution. The whole crux section after leaving the good gear in the large pockets is affected, most good holds and gear once you move right are gone. 

I'll try and have another look asap

Appreciate the effort cleaning it! We pulled off a shoebox sized bloc from it last week just below the belay.
