Description 

This sparring match begins on the face of the large, right-facing dihedral, which is just to the left of the corner crack Body English. Use some fancy footwork through the edgy climbing, step off the ledge into the shallow aręte crack and follow it to a second small ledge below a blocky, overhanging, right-facing dihedral. Clip the bolt above the ledge, move up to the dihedral, and carefully clip the next bolt out left above the blocky dihedral. Sequence your “punches” and pull out the southpaw to reach the top.

Protection 

Climbs on all bolts, approximately 10 to 12 QDs. An optional, large, hand-sized piece of gear could be placed in the blocky dihedral. The top/new anchor is two coldshuts.
