Cruxy start in little offset cave then over a bulge to a good rest. Blank headwall leads up toward roof which is skirted on its right side. To avoid rope drag at the lip of the little cave, you can reach back and unclip bolt 2 once you have clipped bolt 3. And your belayer can unclip bolt 1 at the same time. Overhangs 25 feet although it does not feel that steep.
Location
Right-most route of those starting on the really steep part of the SW face.
That might be saying something about Cres-sent or my steep rock abilities. Probably the latter since The Crossing has to be 12d or 13a based on the number of attempts it took me to redpoint it.
