Steve, the first pitch you are referring to, is it mainly all ring bolted? and does it traverse right underneath a low bushy patch nearer the top?
From the updated addition to the guide book, this route (marked as #11) appears to be called "No Ego".
It reads as if the first pitch of "A Fundamental Difference of Opinion" (route #10) is 6 meters to the left of this and is all carrot bolts, run out alot further than No Ego. It passes to the left of the bush and then meets up at the belay scoop for the second pitch.
When we climbed it recently, we thought we were on pitch 1 of "A Fundamental Difference of Opinion" until noticing the carrots further left...and the right traverse under the bush is the give away.

Thanks for the report also, hope the ankle comes good soon.
