Description 

Start on high holds (may need to use cheater stones) and climb the steep arête. Tricky and sequency moves down low lead to powerful pocket pulling between bolts 3 and 5. Excellent route, with fluid and sustained movement on superb stone. Too bad a couple of obviously manufactured holds keep this from being a classic.

Location 

The rounded right arête on the third section of the Main Wall. Look for the swiss cheese pockets above the third bolt.

Protection 

6 bolts to open shuts.
