Description 

Ennui climbs the face on the right side of the pedestal, immediately right of Desperate for Doughnuts. It is a fun toprope or a scary lead past 3 bolts. It feels somewhat contrived because it is so close to the easy and dirty arête/corner just a couple feet to the right. The crux comes after the first bolt and good holds don’t appear until you’re a good ways past it. There is also a second easier crux (5.10) after the 3rd bolt.

Protection 

Bolts, 2-bolt anchor/rap.
