Thanks for the info Neil. The issue that I am raising here is not so much to do with the climb itself, but more to do with its local environment. I'm sure the climbing is not too difficult for the grade, but the fact is that you will fall 10 or so metres if you don't make it to the bolt. I have no problems with big wingers up high, but when its close to the ground its just asking for a ground-fall. In effect, the bolt is not 4 metres off the deck, but 10 metres. I'd have posted this to the re-bolting forum, but it didn't let me have access and I was in a bit of a rush...
