First pitch has 9 bolts.

Great mental lead for newish leader-mostly 5.6, wanders, but follows good features, clipping stances are all great, first bolt high, but beginning is well featured, rest of bolts are far enough apart to make them think, but not enough to be dangerous, crux 5.7 section between bolts 7 and 8 is 100+ feet off the deck (and feels like several hundred feet with the view of the Merced at the bottom of the canyon) but well protected.
