I appreciate the fact that you can see both sides of the coin Cruze as I do truely understand what you are saying. I Feel reasonably comfortable climbing slabs up to about 20 now but in the early days when things seemed ridiculously scary and run-out I would be praying for that bolt to be just a little closer. Sooner or later you do just have to pony up and to help with the psychology of it all I recommend wearing heavy denim jeans a long sleeve shirt and a good helmet, it certainly helped me a lot
