Description 

Left of the "Brown Cloud Arete" are three crack systems. These mark the leftmost end of the "Brown Cloud Crags" section of cliff. This route takes the lefthand of these three crack systems up a right-facing corner to the top of the wall. The climbing is moderate and the gear is good, making this a suitable introduction to leading gear routes. Walk off to the east.

Gear, no fixed anchor.

If this is the route just R of Deck Chairs on the Titanic, it now sports a 2 bolt anchor.

CAUTION: there is a large, loose block at the very top of the climb. It should be trundled, which I would have done, were there not people below.
Also, I was unable to retrieve a small cam at the crux crack. Do not clip, as it is not cammed, rather just sitting deep in the crack. A very thin hand might be able to get it out, but not my nut tool.

The route just right of Deck Chairs is Killian's Dead. This route is about 50 feet to the left.
