Description
P1: Start left of The Flake (Temporarily closed due to rockfall) in an easy crack. Several variations exist. Belay on gear below the summit overhang as for North Overhang.
P2: Traverse out right with good hands and not so good feet. Be sure to protect the follower, as a fall will land them out in space. Pull up onto airy ledge, delicately reach up to clip the bolt, and continue up face to the summit. Belay from 2-bolt anchor.
Descent: With one rope, rap from same bolt anchor to the north back to starting ledge.
