Stanage for the three of us
Bamford is still smouldering
Easy routes with protection 
We each did a lead then my turn again 
...Grotto Slab!
Got to the block and stopped 
Looks like a good chunk's broken off
Downclimbed
Fi had a go but no
Downclimbed
Mary had a go and almost but no
The move is too bold 
For a Mod, and for us
Faced with either leaving a sling and carabiner up there or abbing down from the top - which we were too hot and bothered to do - Mary rigged an abseil with the rope and managed to pull it through without it jamming phew!
That route, which I've both lead and seconded before, should no longer be graded Moderate in my opinion. 

Edit: have found a photo from 2017 which shows it was broken then. I think more is now missing, but if not we are rubbish!
