SXPembs	18 Oct, 2023	Show βeta βeta: Dangerously bolted - avoid! There is a ledge beneath the hard section. The bolt at the start of that section is placed very low above the ledge so that a slip would mean hitting the ledge. The next bolt is too high even for a very tall man to clip from the ledge, ensuring one has to make steep, hard moves where a slip or broken hold would lead to a leg-breaking fall. The remaining clips through the crux are reachy such that our 6 foot buddy could barely reach them. My husband simply laughed at the bolting on that whole top section and deployed the clipstick from ledge to anchors.	βeta?
