Early Worm, 5.10d

4th Pitch- 35m- 5.10d/ I led this pitch and as Dave suggested, found use for a shoulder length sling on the last bolt to help with a small traverse taken at the end. This was a much easier lead (5.10b early on) than the 2nd pitch I thought until the last several meters (5.10d). You end up on a very steep section, slightly bowed out and have to unlock a non-positive move or two to clip the next bolt. I would consider this section second only to the final crux on the sixth pitch in terms of difficulty, but it is short lived and the pitch is not as hard in general as several of the other pitches. Once you get through this crux section , it eases off quite a bit as you traverse out right to the station. The rappel rings are out left, but the bolt line follows the station out right.
