The Eyrie, Mt Boyce retrobolted! Badly... 4-Jan-2017 At 8:28:55 AM Zarb

I like the distinction someone made between beginner climbs and easy climbs. I was climbing at Megalong crag the other day and was doing one of the grade 13 pitches. Gosh it was very run out. Very easy, but very run out. I would have hated to be a grade 13 climber on that. But as an easy climb for me it was made all the more fun by the run out, definitely would have been a real bore if it was bolted with a grade 13 climber in mind.

Back on topic, even being super late to the party, I've done the Eyrie a few times, both in the early stages of my climbing and also recently. I didn't ever really feel it was run out or unsafe either time, so it's nice to see it being restored.
