I don't know about the second bolt being moved, but regardless, in my opinion, it is still difficult to clip. Don't blow it. Considering the area, this isn't 11d. Certainly harder below the shelf, then anything on Reaching For Razors, but after that is probably 5.9(?) climbing. Fun, short, sequential route... May 27, 2014

Pre-clip 1st bolt (belayer directional bolt) & 2nd bolt. Blight is a techy, balancy V4 through a tough 3rd bolt. 10 moves to get to the shelf, then reach high and sink deep into a bomber jug. Move up the large flake to a few 10a moves before an easy clip of the chains. Aug 9, 2018
