Catrin felt like 6b, Alive and Kicking probably is too. Do you find this valuable?

Suzie couldn't reach the 1st bolt off the ledge and found most of the clips really reachy, might be worth an extra bolt lower down for the munchkins 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

I thought this also. Both Alive and Kicking and Katrin could do with a shared first bolt and one more each en-route. Do you find this valuable?

I think the first bolt sugestion is a good one, but another one above? You'd have to be a mong to fall off above the last bolts!

or maybe I just can't be arsed to carry the drill up again?

Collusus has been the only route that has had a net reduction in bolts on it, two were so close together that the people who re-equipped it removed one. Tis a great mixed sport/trad route. I will push for the four star, we may only be able to afford to give it 3stars and a small moon though. these stars are expensive! Do you find this valuable?

Same for me.. had to put a wire in handhold to protect move off ledge then didn't need bolt! Nightmare reaching next bolt too. Please consider shorter people when bolting slate routes with quite significant run outs between bolts! Thanks alot! Does 5ft 4 count as munchkin height... don't think so. Pretty average girl height really!!!

I couldn't quite reach the bolt from the niche in Alive And Kicking, it's probably only a hard 6a though. Do you find this valuable?
