Description 

Start at the obvious right-facing arch. About 15 feet up, climb left over the overhanging arch on good holds in a crack on the face, then wander up the face to the left of Bolt Route or finish on Bolt Route. If leading, the overhang is well protected by a double sling around the large block beneath the arch and a small cam in a solid crack between hand holds on the face. The overhang is much easier than it appears. The anchor is shared with Left Corner.


Protection 

1 set of cams up to 2 inches and a double sling

At the overhang crux, the jug for the right hand is very loose but can be bypassed. The closest flake for the left hand as you reach left over the overhang is also loose, but there are more solid hand holds (and a solid crack for a cam if leading) just a few inches to the left.
