[Hide Comment] Veers way sharper left than it looks like in SuperTopo. After the first couple bolts which climb straight up, look up and left for the 3rd bolt. The 4th bolt is almost directly left from here and the anchors even farther left after the last bolt. Pretty runout and traversey but good for getting up to the 3rd pitch of Crying Time quicker.
