Is this route intended to link up with either Starlight or the route to the right?

Easy fun route in the steepness.

Jugs to two bolt crux to more jugs.
Nice bouldery sequence all though short.
mid-12 for sure.

This climb 'ends' at the 2nd of two bolts with fixed carabiners, which are part of the route 'Starlight' - coming in from the left. It could be continued (via much easier climbing) to anchors up right or left. Today I backed up the top bolt of the hard/continuous climbing with a purple sling and locker around a monster horn. This climb is awesome, but definitely NOT easier for short people. Long reach helps!

This route ends with Starlight, you just follow the jugs left after the crux.

I disagree about the crux, my partner cruised it with a high right heelhook. As I can't get the heelhook (too unbalanced at 6'2") I have to make the reach from a small left undercling which is a much more powerful move.
