3 out of 5 stars Extremely Sketchy Second Bolt Clip

If you manage to clip the second bolt without falling off backwards onto a jagged pile of rocks below, then the rest of the route is very safe, although far from easy. The crux is a very precise sequence of moves beginning with a small step-through, and ending with your right hand on a small crimp, and your left hand on a small pinch. Then you have to almost smear your right foot, and trust your hands enough to remove your left foot from the hold which has up to this point been supporting 80% of your weight. If you can smear that right foot, and move up your left hand off the pinch, you can grab the wall slightly again with your left hand before throwing it up to the bomber ledge above. After that it's beyond easy. More moves may be required for short people to pull the crux Lena Chita.
