Line of Attack

Yoder/Sullivan say the crux is is passing the first bolt, but I had trouble identifying any hard parts of this route. Maybe the block is not supposed to be on at the crux? Maybe the right hand holds jutting out from the recess are not supposed to be on? I kind of tried making this into a 5.10b (as graded by the FA), but there was so much within reach of the bolt line it seemed soft for the grade. There are a lot of edges to step up on. I think it's more 5.9/5.10a territory. A good warm-up for the wall.

Left of the recess and long streaks of white. Very colorful big blotchy lichen on the bottom and top.

7 bolts and anchor
