Absolutely.
And as an indication of how good Ergonomics actually is - I bumped into an American 2 weekends ago that walked right up to me and stated "Do you want a really crap route to go and do?" - this - after falling off it for the umpteenth time. He was actually joking - for he then went on to described how brilliant the climbing was. It's just that he kept falling off the upper crux. Invested the majority of his Arapiles stay doing just that.

A great route indeed. I also find it quite strange how Moorhead didn't finish up that streak - but then a similar example would be his efforts with Escape - why didn't he do the proper start (now The Great Escape). It's not like he wasn't qualified - and the climbing is - well - great. Maybe he just had enough on his plate at the time...
