When I did Cassandra(18) a while ago ( a long time prior to the old carrots being replaced) it also needed natural gear at the end of the traverse - just before you climb up onto the belay ledge. These moves are a bit tricky and a fall from there would be very nasty ... a pendulum back past the top of the bolt ladder and down a fair way. I think I used small flexible cams (TCUs).
I also seem to remember stories of a few plummets from that point of the climb in the past.
