Long answer is kind of.. the second comes off the belay stance and has to deal with the rope stretch drop. At the bottom of the stretch, the 2nd should only need to swing a few feet to reach the chicken heads. It’s quite fun! Alternatively, if the second is good at hard slab, they can leave the belay and traverse right on thin slab, with some positive edges, and get to the more substantial chicken heads about 25 feet over. Both options are spicy and fun.
Why the single bolt anchors, instead of just clipping the other bolt to make the whole system redundant? Rad climb, and beautiful place!
Does the follower have to do the same pendulum maneuver?
