Description 

Just around the arete left of "FACE" there is a nice face route that stays shaded int he morning, at least until mid day. This can be lead by moving out to clip a few bolts on FACE and then back or TR'd from the anchors of FACE.

Hang your rope to the left of the arete from the bolts above FACE, but not as for that route. Climb up direct only traversing around right if necessary to clip a bolt and otherwise work up to the crux, perhaps 10' from the top at a few slopers and crips.

Bite down hard and move up and though some lichen to the top.

This route will improve if someone brushes the lichen from the top 15 feet and the gravel from the top-out moves.

Protection 

A few far off bolts or a TR from the anchors of FACE. I recommend the TR.
