Hey MikePatt,
Perhaps Ewbank didn't get it wrong on these, rather, routes themselves have changed.
As mentioned previousely, Psychopath was originally full of dirt, so it used to be harder than it is now. Ditto Carthagenian.
Also, Sincerity may have been a bit bolder in the olden days. Ewbank's guide mentions only one bolt. I think there are four now (haven't been there for years).
