With a good, attentive belay going for the jug at the second clip should not be an issue. This route is characterized by hard moves between good rests. Take some time to study the starting moves. Done correctly they are not nearly as hard as they look. Feel free to hit me up for beta if needed.

My normal climbing partner wasn't belaying me on this climb, I fell going for the second rail and hit the ground.
My belayer was attentive, however very lightweight and neither of us knew anything about the route.
Just exercise caution.

Think Boulder problem or so the story goes, the Verm back in the day sans rope and bolts

My partner fell going for the rail and didn't hit the ground, but did swing into me and nearly kicked me in the face - keep an eye out for this as well. This is a must-do route, with a powerful start followed by many varied and difficult moves between good holds. Classic.
