Description 

Climb the Classic (5.7) or any variation thereof that gets you to the 3rd pitch of the Classic. Start up the gorgeous right-facing dihedral, but at the bulge instead of cutting left and going over it, head right underneath the roof to the end.

I remember the climbing being technical and airy with some pretty exciting moves while looking at a potential swing into the corner.
