The final bulge is pretty contrived--your hand and foot is on the wide crack to the right as you start the sequence, so why not just go up the crack?

Where are those anchors? (They are out of sight beyond the next easy bulge.)
The upper slab is thin and sustained at maybe hard 9? Hard to decide where exactly to climb.

Jason's about to work his feet up the crack on the tricky crux at the 3rd bolt on this 5.10b climb.

Moving right on the upper face. I keep angling up and right to good holds on the arete, but it's possible to climb straight up. We are top roping using the anchors on a recent Vaino Kodas route that is just left of Drop Zonee.<br> <br> Photo by Paul Rezucha.

This didn't work either.
The perplexing crux. Looks easy, doesn't it? This didn't work.
Luke at the first hard moves at the second bolt. This is about 5.9 if you do it right, but there are enough holds to make it easy to do it wrong.
