Maupassant (HVS 5a)

Climbing this today, I noticed the remains of four stuck cams behind the same flake. I clipped a couple of them, I couldn't risk placing my own there. Can anyone shed light as to why this is particularly bad for getting cams stuck?

Unfortunately my second didn't manage to get any out, but apparently the dmm one has movement.

The Maupassant short story was called Two Friends not four...

I abbed down yesterday to take a look at getting them out, but couldn't get them to shift. There's 3 in there and just the head of a 4th (the stem has fallen off). Probably not worth keeping them but it'd be good if someone could clean the route up.

Are you the Phantom Eastern Edges cam remover?

Did you get the Green Dragon out of Flying Buttress? If so great effort, I admire your methods.

(It wasn’t mine BTW)

I wish I could take that title but it's not me!

I thought that might a certain former Lakes resident?
