hey me kate and nathan were out in grover working the fine line when i noticed that the flake with the start holds on it was flexing a lot. has any one else noticed this or is it just me being a weiner? if it is new flexiness should the hold be reinforced by glue so that a classic line isn't ruined? note that if the flake pulls the problem will jump to a v 14ish arete of pure pain. nick, dude if you are out there whats your take on it you have the fa its probably mostly your call.
Not stoked.

preventative glueing couldn't hurt...

by the way that flake has always flexed. the way is it used it shouldn't pull off. unless someone really digs in the seam and pulls out on it.
only time will tell...

stoked, i wasn't sure if the flexing was normal or just me. I just didn't want to pullthe flake off and ruin another good line- i already did a number on fynnished.

"flexiness"...I have never heard that word used before, especially in reference to a hold on a boulder problem!

Is there glue that is actually strong enough to bond rock for any length of time? Sounds messy.
