Traverse in, moving left from the arete just left of Open Book, using good hand traverse holds. [A direct start in the thin crack is harder and discouraged because it is very close to the 'snake' petroglyph.] Soon you'll reach the first overhang, which is pretty easy. The second overhang you pass through is harder- an A shaped slot with awkward mantle move or big reach to a wide crack to the left with minimal feet. Overhang #3 is just before the topout. Don't be too pumped to pull the mantle move.
Location
This climb is the next crack left of Open Book (the obvious dihedral) on the north side.
Protection
1 set cams to 4". Some wired nuts. A cordelette or long piece of webbing is useful for the anchor.
