If it was over hanging I would agree. The end is about 20-25 foot of slap over an overhang. The last bolt is about 15-20 feet from the anchor and its probably a 10.a finish 10 feet above the last bolt. Ru....its a little sketchy. But doable. It has been climbed this way for years. That doesnt mean it is safe. I freak out everytime I do it. On the other hand the route is rated 11.c. and the hardest moves are lower, so one could say if you can climb 11.c you should be able to pull the 10.a runout at the end. I my opinion there is no gear on the route at the end. Why is there no bolt there?
"a .10a runout on an .11c route" that is the answer to why there is no bolt...
plus, why does every stinkin' route need to be sanitized??? get your shit together, and fire the thing or come back another day...plus, you can down climb or get a tr from someone...
In general I agree with you R but it is the ultimate sign of being a wanker if you construct a sketchy runouts after any preinspection. At one time a friend and I decided that we'd clean each others projects so that we wouldn't have all that preinspection knowledge. As it turns out half the fun of doing new routes around here is cleaning them so that was short lived.
