Another excellent route. The easiest line moves left at the first bolt and works the crack before stepping right to the arete at the second bolt. From here, delicate thin face moves lead to the top. Done this way, the route seemed easier than 11a.

There are four bolts on the route; not five. The first bolt is quite high, but the climbing up to it is easy.
