Description
Start up the slabby opening bit, clipping the first bolt on the way. Stand up as it steepens and clip the second bolt. Find some obvious holds, and work out how to get past the blankness to the tantalizing, obvious hold above.
After figuring it out, enjoy the pockets to the top.

Location
Immediately left of Keystone Arete, climbs the face between that route and the dihedral to the left.
Keystone Arete is a ways left of where the trail meets the Sunny Side wall; it's fairly distinct because of the bulging overhang with a sloping shelf below it.
(Just look at the picture.)
Note that this route doesn't appear in the Goss guidebook.
