Crash pad, spot. At such a low angle its hard to fall off this route. But if you did, you migh be in trouble. So, its a tricky proposition on where to place your pad; cover the rock at the base or pad the ground at the very bottom or both. Just make sure you spotter is protecting the rocks at the base.

Or better yet, just dont fall.
