Breakdown Brokedown

Breakdown cave lived up to it's name today, the key right hand crimp is no more.  Me, Jake, and a handful of OU kids took our weekly bouldering trip today and found ourselves at the breakdown cave.  After tearing a nice flapper earlier I settled in to watch the others pull down on this classic, Jake was showing the beta when BOOM the crimp blew.  Look what he did, the little jerk-






Somebody get out there and get the send before old Tim-dog has a chance!  The grade has definitely been up'd, good luck!

i send my apologies to all that have ever climbed breakdown. i wish the hold hadn't ever broke, this was definitely one of my favorite problems in athens. i think the remaining holds could definitely be pieced together and something new could come in the wake of the destruction. good luck workin the new beta, go get the FA!

Would it be possible to get directions to the various areas around Athens? And a "recommended" place to start so one could lay seige to the area? I'm from Pittsburgh PA and you guys are within a day trip so I would like to be able to come and check things out for a day/find the projects/send some classics/get a feel for the area all without driving/walking aimlessly around. I would also like to help in the development of this area.

Sooooooo in short, could someone contact me with some information? E-mail: mattwshere@comcast.net
