When linked as one pitch this is a long pitch for a sport climb. A 70m rope just touches the ground from the anchors. Although the rope runs very straight, it may still be worthwhile belaying at the P1 anchors to reduce the weight of the rope.

Luke on the "5.9" section above the first belay. This was one of the cruxes for me and felt harder than the official crux.
