Description 

The wickedly steep roof to the left of Centerpiece. Romp up some 5.11ish crimping up an overhanging bulge to a rest ledge before the business. Rest well. Then get moving into the awkward situation that awaits above. Use the prominent flake to make progress up the massive overhang. Would be a great inverted layback if there were feet with which to oppose. Be more creative, unless you're a campusing mutant. A super-awkward diving-board style mantle brings one to the top. Cleaning draws is rather hard.


Location 

The climb immediately to the left of Centerpiece.


Protection 

+/-7 bolts

This is an incredibly aesthetic line, but I've always heard that it is awkward and bad, perhaps I'll give it a try someday.

Yes, it is good, with an unusual move or 2 at the top that you just have to commit to and then it is not hard. Well worth doing.
