A bouldery undercling move starts things off, leading to a kinda scary second bolt clip. At the horizontal break it is possible to traverse right to a shake and then go up and back left, but it is easier just to continue up the flake/crack. Either way, the crux is surmounting the bulge. Easier face climbing leads to a balancy move to gain the anchors.
I found the start much harder than anything else on the pitch. This pitch would be a near classic at a lot of other areas.

A short route with a boulder problem style crux. Not too bad for the grade if you read it right straightaway or are able to hang out and decipher it.

For some reason, I found the moves above the last clip (right before the anchors) to be the most hair-raising. This bulge is particularly tricky if you can't read it right away, otherwise the climb isn't physically too difficult after the bulge.
