Hey Sean, I got on Mr' T's today and have to say it's an awesome route, and props for the work. Im curious about the runout in the traverse though, as a fall from there would mean some pretty severe consequences. The crack and rail are both quiet good through that section, but the ledges are both quite spongy and unstable, and shifted quiet a bit when I stood on them. A fall from this point would lob you into the wooded ledge some 20+ feet below. Is it the plan to make this a mixed route? The crack would certainly take gear, but I wonder about slapping another bolt in below the traverse rail just to eliminate this one placement. I know Im calling the kettle black by talking about placing more bolts, but it just seems like that's the only spot on the route that needs gear and it's keeping an otherwise three star route from it's full potential. Just wondering on your/the community's thoughts.
Cheers.
