Step up and clip a bolt on the left. Climb straight up a right-facing corner. A yellow Alien can be placed in an undercling between the second and third bolts. Mantel onto a big ledge on the left, and continue up the face to the anchor. A green Camalot can be placed to protect the final move to the anchor.
To get there from the main Bihedral area, traverse left on the narrow exposed ledge past Dan's Line and Group Therapy. Be very careful. Not a good approach for kids or pets. A safer approach can be made by coming up from the Left Side area, but this is a long way from the main Bihedral area.
An anchor has been installed on the right side of the shelf, so you can do a diagonal rappel back to the main Bihedral area instead of reversing the exposed traverse; see ??.
Protection
5 bolts plus a yellow Alien and green #0.75 Camalot. 2-bolt anchor with lowering hooks.
Hmm.. Seger fan? For whatever reason the nostalgic and fancy-free tone of that song always reminded me of climbing too. Perhaps it's just the recall of youth....
------------------------------ We weren't in love, oh no, far from it We weren't searching for some pie in the sky summit We were just young and restless and bored, living by the sword And we'd steal away every chance we could To the backroom, to the alley or the trusty woods I used her, she used me, but neither one cared We were getting our share, working on our night moves Trying to lose the awkward teenage blues Working on our night moves, and it was summertime
