As Snaq points out, the lead had reason not to see the entire play. But from the video, which is the perspective of the trail, the travel is certainly easy enough to see to make a call. I'm still a bit vague about the term "technical travel," but this play does not involve foot movement in inches, and there is no jump stop. Perhaps there are other examples.
