Description 

Start with a hold on the face and a fish hook on the arete. With high feet on the face, throw out left to a poor sloper. Work the arete and feet to a desperate crimp that really can only be used for balance. Fire for the jugs and the top out is yours.

Location 

This is on the Depression Wall, which is to the right and part of the same formation of the Ultimate Block. Arete's Syndrome is on the far right end of the wall, with a giant flake suspending a small boulder in the air to the right.

Protection 

Pads and friends; good flat landing.
