Cave Cliff & The Sun Deck Development 30-Jan-2008 At 2:13:32 PM dreamingof8a

Hey Joe,
just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed climbing at the Sun Deck and The Cave Cliff. Sun Gate is still to explore :-)
Last week I climbd at Sun Deck with an Italian guy Peter and it was prety cool, ticked all the routes from left to right in 2hrs despite millions of flies and the hot weather.

Just two suggestions/questions:
- grading of Holy Batmania/Poison Ivy/Comissioner Gordon: Unfortunately I can't exactly remember which two of these three routes but I found one of the 19s quite a bit harder than the 21. I was very surprised to look at the guide after having climbed both of them.

- anchors of Holy Human Fly/?Poison Ivy?: they are set above the edge of the last ledge - a rope killer! even lowering of really hurt my heart. We actually used the last bolt instead of the anchor. Is there a reason for the chain not being put below the edge? Maybe an extension chain would be a good Idea.

Apart from that, really good job!
Thanks
