That's a common comment Iain. However, first not everyone reads the forums believe it or not, some just visit the news page (our stats give us that information). Second reports get buried in the forums.
What we are trying to achieve with the news page is to have a record of significant ascents along with relevant climbing community news.
Lastly we will be using the News page at UKC and other sources to compile year end reports to be published at UKC.
We are working toward making the news page at UKC a valuable record of climbing news. At the moment we average about 40+ new reports a month, something difficult to achieve in the print media.
