This route ascends the seams and weakness between The Roof And The Shoulder. Follow a move or two to a jug, then highstep/toecam with the left foot with a liebackish move with the left palm. Pull this move to gain a stance to swing the right hand up and finish the seams to the top.
This is a fun route with two small and fun dynamic moves prior to the crux. I suspect that was the origin of the name. It was solid 5.10d 15-20 years ago when an informal guide generously rated it 5.11. Since then a key hold at the crux broke off and it has easily gone up a letter grade. I give it 5.11a.
