Sure, a hold breaks every now and then but how many have you done where a large part of the route is different or totally gone? I only have a few but bet several of you Donini-types have quite the list.
Ones I can think of on my list:
RNW Halfdome
Cobra - Fisher Towers
Limp Dick - Skinner Butte, OR

The entire lower section of the Northcutt-Carter Route on Hallet Peak in RMNP fell off several years ago. The route as originally established is...gone.

How about "radically changed"?
A route (appropriately enough) called TROLL. There were two tall free standing stacked blocks at an inside corner and then a hand crack above. In 1982 someone used a car jack to topple them and "improve" the route.

First and last ascent of "Remember Tomorrow" V6 Gualala CA! I took my buddy out to show him and repeat it and it had been taken out to sea in a huge storm when the river mouth opened wide and swallowed it whole :)

All of my favorite routes have vanished in the continental US... every single one. Usually during the Spring.
Some come back.

Apparently the Bonatti Pillar is no longer in place. That and Trigger Finger. There are a few pitches I recall that have had some big changes, but are still doable. Princely Ambitions at Index as well as the 2nd pitch of Town Crier.

What's that one at Vantage that some a-hole knocked over? In the Feathers, I think it's called? I only visited the area one time, but I climbed that one.
Cannon has many that are gone now.
