I led a "sporty" pitch out in red rocks. it did not feel like a sport route, i think it had 4 bolts in 60-70 feet(it was also 3 pitches off the deck, and the rest of the climb was trad), and little opportunity for anything else.(the holds looked like they were slowly peeling off the rock too, kinda like that flaky black lichen stuff at the red) it scared me more than most of the other pitches i climbed. i think even "safe" falls stop being in the realm of sport when it gets to ~40-50 feet. that was just plain scary.
