Yes it is too high, it needs an extra bolt but gfdonc refuses to see the error in his ways. Always makes me laugh when he suggests putting extra bolts in other climbs eg the recent rabbit rocks thread.

Not not true, QoE is much better and more consistent than every other youies climb at the grade.

If you fall down the gully as well, it is probably closer to 7m, yes it is a fall. Maybe a better question is: Is a slab route really a "route"?
