Bolt traverse. Half Mile Passage, Daren Cilau.

A traverse without any ledge to stand on, so that you have to rely entirely on a traverse line. Significantly harder than a traverse with a ledge, and may require the use of other equipment (such as a footloop) in order to move a cows tail from one section to the next. This can be made much more easy with the use of a foot rope.
