7 Bumbliferous Buttress

On left side of base of rounded buttress. Up to ledge, then right. Originally soloed. 3BR and DBB. One of the lower off bolts has been partially cut, but I think it's fine to use as part of a lower-off. I estimate that it would still hold a LOT (5 to 10 kN), is only subject to lowering forces, and is paired with another full strength Ubolt. mikl law
