This is the published crux pitch, but as Radek made note, the pitch below is actually more challenging. You have 2 bolts to protect the 5.9+ move to the left (not really 5.10a as published). Some have gone right up a corner to the right of the bolts. I don't think a traverse up there makes any sense. The move left is exposed, but quite positive in my opinion. The bolts are well placed. We actually set up a hanging belay on them which can be done with 60m ropes from the long sustained crack pitch below.
