This route puts the "bad" back in "trad." The name, PWTHFRWDLGS, stands for "Post-War Turkish Homosexual Forms Relationship with Dead Lover's German Shepherd." It's a very long name for a very bad route.
This route takes the nasty cleft/chimney accessing the top of the right wall of the corridor, and starts directly from the hump. Climb the chimney feature, taking care of the small loose blocks which soon give way to big loose blocks which, in turn, give way to table-sized loose blocks; wedged death-cubes; hanging, scalloping death-flakes; lichen; dirt; and other variegated filth.
Near the top of the feature, climb right under the wedged death-cubes, then walk back left across the death cubes to access the teetering, pigeon-shit-covered summit via a horrendous step-across. You can rappel from a tree down and slightly south to reach the double-bolt anchors atop red faction. An old fixed-hex and Bashie rappel anchor partway down the wall indicates that someone else had made the mistake of climbing this route earlier.
