This is the left most bolted climb on the lower face. The fourth bolt seems like it would only contribute rope drag, as the route is "done" after the second clip.
The crux is between the first and second clips, and invlves an awkward balancy move that is a dyno for short people. There are 4 huecos in and after the crux, and the friction on all of them sucks.
Protection
4 bolts to a 2 bolt top anchor. Walk off or bring long (10' +) slings for a top rope.
Actually, the 4th bolt is not gratuitous. When you clip it, you traverse left and finish the route by doing a left-hand mantle up on a tiny edge to a sloper. This adds another 5.10 move to the route.
I didn't think much of this one. Height-dependent crux with an interesting sequence marred by a particularly desperate second clip. I cranked past it and realized I couldn't down-clip either or keep going safely, so I took the whip. It's safe.
Did the "5.10" finish as well. It was pretty easy to traverse and get to a place where I could reach up and clip the anchors. My sequence was easier than 5.10 but perhaps I was supposed climb level with the anchors? If so, it's super contrived.
