I agree that Electric Warrior is a tough prospect at 20. There are plenty of other examples at Arapiles for each grade. Was it an early 20? I don't have a guide with me to check when it was first climbed. I think the early climbs at a certain grade are often quite tough. I guess the guys who did them weren't quite ready to call it harder than anything else so they went with an established grade (better to be revised up than down). Increasing the grade of a climb seems to be less common than downgrading as well.
