Haven’t looked at this too closely but it doesn’t seem like an eliminate to me, not by Cuvier standards anyway. L’Abbatoir and Big Golden are stricter lines, for example. The right hand version of this does look a bit contrived because you could just climb the crack.
If there's 'extra' rules (i.e.beyond the usual bouldering rules) around what's in/out I think it's an eliminate by definition?
I think enough people have done and recorded the different variations that it's worth recording them separately.
I guess the question then is do we need to call abbatoir and big golden eliminates?
Yes I think the versions should be recorded separately, since that’s what Bleau.info do. I don’t think BG and Abbatoir and a dozen others should have the eliminate tag. They’re strict lines but they’re not Pinch 2. They’re also in 7+8, which doesn’t include eliminates.
