Is the death defying exit move really only a 5.8?

A 60 meter was enough to get down. I also thought it was harder in 3 places and had rope drag troubles making the broken body defying moves at the top. A wild ride.

Wow, you guys remembered my route. It is spelled James Bronstein. With the rope drag that is hard to prevent and the strange move at the top it was hard to rate. :)

This route is actually between "Jack the Ripper" and "As Luck Would Have It". A 60 most certainly get you on the ground.
