Yup...

Martin, I remember when we first looked at that route and would not even consider leading it, much less solo it. The first bolt is at least 30 ft from the deck and there are only three bolts total........in an 80 ft route. It's not that hard as long as you have nice sticky shoes. Don't try this on a damp day!
