John E. Aragon,

My favorite part of that climb is the last ten feet. What a memorable top out! If you put some bolt anchors on at the end of the crack and cut the webbing, you are altering the route as the first assentionist put it up.

Do the rest of us a favor and don't fuck with the route. If you don't feel confident doing the end of it, then don't climb it.

Well said Spraylord. Everyone should have to do that classic red river top out!

I respectfully ask that you leave the route as it is. Thanks for seeking our opinion.

No shit. It's, ugly, godawful scary, and unbelievably rewarding when you top it out. Welcome to 5.8+ in the Red.

I'm just saying, turn a 5.8+ into a 7 and there's a pretty good possibility they'd get chopped.
