Slightly Loose Block Atop Godzilla

Has anyone else noticed the slightly loose block at the top of Godzilla? You grab it to do the last mantel and end up standing on it before doing the step around move to the left at the top. Last time I did the route, I grabbed it and noticed it move a little bit. Maybe it has been that way for a while, and I just haven't noticed it.

What were you expecting ? Does it surprise you that there is a loose block on a climb ? I would suggest that dealing with these unknowns is one of the reasons people climb.

No need to start trolling bro. If I wanted someone's ethical opinion on dealing with a loose block I would have posted on the general climbing forum, especially if they are on the other side of the country.

This is a trade route at Index that see crowds every weekend the area is climable. Just posting to see if the locals have noticed it is coming loose LATELY.

PSA: There is a slightly loose block at the topout move on Otto's Route, Grand Junction, CO. You know, the one that you jam betwixt?

I am talking about Godzilla, 5.9 at Index Town Wall in WA.

Didn't see that this was posted in the PNW forum, eh?

Good lookin out Aaron. I don't remember that block moving, but I could be wrong. Definitely a bad place for something to come out.

Aaron,

Is that the block that has a little tree growing out of the crack at the back? I don't remember it having any movement when you grab it. Bad place for something to to come loose, for sure.

I thought you were talking about Godzilla 5.8 at Smith Rock in Oregon.

One might be more specific as to exactly where, as last time I checked Oregon was considered to be part of the PNW. Though the comment on Otto's is a bit out of the PNW.
