Details
If you are coming up, note the following:
-There are no fires allowed anywhere, including the boulder basin & group campsites.
-Please carpool, parking is limited, so if you show up and there is nowhere reasonable for you to park, you must leave. (instead of parking somewhere unreasonable).
-Bring cash to park, lots of people showing up without cash. Even if you don't camp overnight, you still must pay for day parking.
-Don't climb boulders in/ around occupied camp sites (some say ask, personally I just go somewhere else).
-Spread out a bit.

Description
Traverse the right arete of the Gypsy Face to the top, then mantle over. Start seated at a horizontal edge that will be at (seated) eye level.
NOTE: In the guide book this problem is listed as yellow difficulty, meaning most likely in the V6-V8 range, possibly plus or minus a grade. On 150503, however, I ripped off a 1/4 pad crimp/pinch that I was trying to use to get through the crux. It left behind a very good 3/4 pad crimp and now the climb feels no harder than V5.
