In 2017 and 2018 we highlined in Moldova quite often. Since then, somehow, we hadn't tried again. In the north, near the village of Văratic, I found a really good spot. I bolted the anchors, and off we went...

Location
A small canyon of a stream that flows into the Costești water reservoir, right opposite the village of Văratic. Coordinates – 47.911615, 27.274540.
Length – about 25 meters. Height – 9-20 meters
Rigging
On each side I glued in 3 M12×180 bolts with hangers.
It's best to build the anchors from static rope or roundslings. Do not use self-equalizing (sliding) anchors – only fixed, pre-equalized ones.
The north anchor can be reached on foot. Equalize the two bolts closest to the edge, and use the third one, 5 meters back, as a backup.
To rig the south anchor, walk up the grassy hill above the rocks. Just before the edge you will find a bolt. Clip a rope to it and rappel ~7 meters down. In front of you, on the wall slightly above a ledge, you will see two more bolts – equalize them. That is the south anchor. Tie the rope you rappelled on into the anchor as a backup.
