Great aid practice
TR aided this. Tried to do it clean and got close. Used the smallest DMM brass nut for one of the rurp scars - suprised it held. There are some fixed heads up higher on the route. Rurps or tomahawks would make this cake. A fall from the first hooking move or two wouldn't be pretty.

fun times.
Sketchy reach from bathook to second rivet. Probably would not do it on lead because the fall will swing you into a large sharp flake on the ground if the 1st rivet holds. If it doesn't hold then the flake is less of an issue.
TR by climbing CB Tree and then tension traverse over or lower to obvious shelf and pendulum up to anchors.
First rivet is a 1/4" piece of manky yumyumws.
You can do a variation in from the left that follows a line of 3 bathooks to the 2nd rivet.
