Just go and read Shark’s post that immediately precedes mine and you’ll have your answer

For those "not good enough to do the moves" here is one solution for working it.

That’s bonkers! Have you ever thought about putting in a dogging bolt instead?...

  why didn’t I think of that?!

Via ferrata at the Tor!

Genius.

Isn’t the Revelations crux at the bottom Font 7C or something? If someone can’t do an English 6A/+ move to get into this, then surely they don’t have a huge amount of chance of doing the crux and should try something easier?

Is that the emoji for trying routes that are too hard?

I thought you were complaining about my bolt placements for a minute there but I recall the first bolt is from a different time than the ones I replaced. It is a fat gray triangular headed petzl? resin bolt the same as the first on Sardine and Rubicon possibly placed by Squawk. Anyone suggesting the bolt was badly placed needs to remember the crux used to be easier. I rebolted the remainder of the route 16 years ago and climbed it 3years before that. No doggin bolt would have helped with the flying Polish sequence.
Even back then when people climbed Mecca without cheating that would get more ascents than Revelation. A tough 8a+. Too hard for me now.

Yes that’s the one and there is an older rusting ring bolt next to it.
