Near the top of 'stick to what' - a great climb. Don't be too scared getting to the second bolt - the rampy part at the bottom is difficult but it eases considerably as one rambles upwards to the clip. Photo: Dave Rockwell

Mickael at the first bolt.
the name says it all
Climbing does ease up by a grade or so and it's such a relief at this point you can really enjoy the climbing. Still a bit run out but nothing like below!
The first bolt is a ways up there and doesn't do much good as you approach the second. Care and delicate footwork is a must here as the fall would not be pretty in the boulders below.
Notice the runout to the second bolt. Crux is past the first bolt, and I seem to remember it easing to sustained 5.8 past that.

Up high there is even an edge or two to lean out upon!
