Dangerous loose rock on Sting Like a Bee, Amnesty

So this block detached from Sting Like a Bee on Amnesty Wall today, and apparently there's another loose/hollow jug up there which could detach if someone hauled on it. For anyone climbing here, both climbers, belayers and spectators should be mindful of the possibility of death-blocks dropping off this climb.

Not sure, sorry. I wasn't there - just passing on the information that I have.

I remember that from 3.5 yrs ago. And there were a few of them....and you adapt your climbing to them. Its outdoor climbing. Its rock. They were kind of wedged in but not by much. Should someone do a warning for 'onlookers omelette' at Frog , or 'Instant Pudding' at goats meat??

Holds break. Some routes have loose rock. That's why climbers wear helmets.
Mind you, the last hold I broke off was in a climbing gym
