I don't mean to hurt your feelings Andrew, but when you come out and write egotisical claptrap like that and other pieces in your opinions, it's no wonder people on this site might be getting slightly upset.
I've only climbed Big Fun and Peroxide Blonde, where i placed an extended sling from the 2nd(?) bolt when rapping down,(do people still ab from the dodgy fence) as the climb was at my limits then and the extra security felt nice but if i wasn't able to place an extended sling i would of just Hardened the F#@k Up!...So i not going to debate on the other climbs apart from to say this: It's great taking new people out climbing, it's better seeing them overcome there fears.
I'm not saying people should climb death routes, but (and as i'm sure you would know) if you let your mum,sister,clients give up each time they were scared, they would of never gotten on to a rope, let alone the sharp end.
Good luck to you and all, yada yada yadda
